Need help with distributor wiring..

So i had a 305 TBi and i yanked it. Loaded in a 355 sbc with a Holley 750 and a GM HEI distributor with a Mallory coil and Curve kit. I don't know anything about the distributor, the Mallory stuff. But my real question is this: How do i wire it up for the tach and the battery? I see there is little printed letters that say (+) BATT - Grnd - COIL (-). Anybody got any ideas? Thanks i appreciate it...

The pink wire that went to your original coil goes to BATT. The white wire that went to your original coil goes to TACH.
