Default Need Help!!!!

Switching back to points distributor from MSD and having a little trouble with the wiring!!!! First the black wire from the original {points type Dis.}goes to the negative on the coil ? RIGHT? Then I have a brown that goes from the MSD wire connector to the base of the carb. Maybe a BUBBA ground!!! Then I have a Red wire coming from the top of the Resistor block to the MSD wire connector??? Then I have a Green from the Negative side of the coil to the MSD wire connector . The last wire is a Pink colored wire that comes across to the Positive side of the coil?????

Any help would be great.... Thanks ahead of time for your help....

For the stock points setup, all you need is:

1. Black wire from the base of the distributor to the (-) side of the coil.

2. Black/pink wire from the top of the ballast resistor to the (+) side of the coil.

3. Black/pink wire from the "R" terminal on the starter solenoid to the (+) side of the coil (coil bypass circuit when cranking).

Everything else you mentioned is MSD-related and can be removed.
