MSD external coil, dust cover adapter, how to wire it?

I have an MSD Blaster 2 coil, and just was given the dust cover, but how do I wire up my wires to the new coil?

I have one on my truck. All you do is unpluf the dis conector and put the pink wire on the + and the brown on the - tach goes to negitive. You can ditch the ground in your cap.

I've got like 5 wires. Tach goes to ground, like to body? What about the other 2. Sorry, don't know what colors they are right off hand.

The one I got from MSD had 2 wires a split 2 brown and a pink. I'll check tomorrow (too freaking cold outside right now) and tell you exactly how its connected. I couldent understand the jibberish MSD put in the insructions so I just connected it how I though it should be and it works.
I will be back

Does anybody have any pics of how the coil looks, or how they installed the coil? I bought a Blaster 2, and I have four wires and not sure what would be the best way to install.
