MSD Ready to Run Distributor & Stock Coil Question

Guys, I swapped out the Lg4 for a 350 HO crate motor in my '87 vert. Getting close to firing it up! I did a search and could not find a answer to my question.

The question is about the output on a stock coil. Pink in is switched power, white in is tach. On the output side (of the factory coil) pink is power (+), is the white for the tack only or also considered the negative side of the coil??

MSD shows wiring for the new Ready to Run Distributor (with Blaster II coil).........
Red wire to the positive side of Blaster (will use output side pink)
Orange wire to the negative side of Blaster (can I use the output side white)
Black wire is ground.

Did not want to assume this would work and burn something up!!!!!!

There is not a lot of room under the hood to put the bigger coil, so I would like to keep the stock location. If I can wire as above, I'll replace with the MSD version of stock. If not guess I have to figure out where to put the Blaster coil (pass side inner fender).
THANKS, Jeff<jnman>

I also posted this in the Electrical section seeking an answer.
