Default Original 73 coil wire

I just bought psi harness with new computer to go in 73 that has a ls1. I need to locate the original coil wire. One schemic says it is black/pink another says it is yellow. Neither of these are found. Where would the original coil wire originate?

Rookie reply.....the coil wire (resistance wire) comes from the fuse block in the wiring bundle that runs across the firewall. Someone could have snipped it off/spliced a different color wire onto it/ or tucked it into the main bundle.
What color wire goes to your coil now (if any)?

Wait for the experts to reply.
