installing an MSD on a 95?

I was going to install my MSD today but when I looked at the wiring diagram it was showing four wires, two pink and two white for a two connector coil and mine has three. One pink/black stripe, one solid pink and one green. Has anyone seen this before? It says to splice the two pink coming from the coil to the orange from the MSD and the two white from the coil to the black from the MSD. Then splice the two pink left from the wire harness to the red from the MSD and the two white from the wire harness to the white from the MSD.
Should I splice the pink and the pink/black stripe with the orange from the MSD and the green with the black from the MSD and so on.....

If I remember there is a wiring harness that you can purchase from MSD that connects to the factory harness and would than connect to the MSD coil without having to cut any wires

To late, I already cut the wires. Now I just need to know what wires go where?

Bad move get the wiring harness and do it right.
The only wire you should be cutting is the tach wire .
Good luck.

It puts to much resistance in the wires when you soder them with the ignition system these cars have.I had enought things to trace down just with the plugin.I also burned 2 msd 6al boxes .You can do what you want but these ignition systems don't like cut and stich.
