Default Does this help?

The PURPLE wire connects to the 'S' terminal and the YELLOW connects to the 'R' terminal you got that part.
With the big battery cable connected to the starter have a helper turn the key to START and see which wire gets power.
That will be your PURPLE wire.
Start at the coil + and see if you have a YELLOW wire there and trace it.
