Tie both pinks together and then both whites. It's really quite simple.
Pink = ignition
White = Tach/coil trigger.

epoxy holds in heat.
oil filled ones do not, the oil is there to cool them and thus work better and last longer.
There is no difference except that, they have built in cooling.

If you say so...
Just think though, where does the heat go?
I've had way more oil filled coils fail than epoxy coils.

solid white - solid black
pink[with black stripe]-black [with pink/purple stripe]
Those are the colors I have and in that order left right, top bottom like the coil pic.
And Dave Ray says so, these 4 coil are also the only ones who pass his spin test for reliable spark through the full rpm band.

Knowing Dave Ray is like Knowing Bill Gates, he designed ign systems for GM and still consults for race teams.

Expose the wires more, you'll find that the black is really a dirty white, and the pink with purple stripe is really just a faded black stripe.
