Default MSD distributor wiring problems on 92 Vette

Hello,

I had problems with my ignition. Sometimes the car didn´t start or it simply died while driving.
Now I replaced my opti with a new MSD distributor, I put a new MSD coil in and 8.5mm super conductor wires.

I´ve got the car completly done now. Everything is read "for take off".

But the MSD distributor has a different 4 pin connector than the harness or my car.
I have a 5 pin connector.
I found out that the connector changed from 92 to 93.
So the MSD would fit a 93.
I would need the wiring diagram of the car and the MSD unit.
If I have the color codes of the wires I could solder the old distributors connector to the MSD.

I hope someone can help.

I know my Dynaspark had the same thing - IIRC the 5th wire is just a covering of foil.
The Dynaspark came with instructions on how to wire it in, maybe you can find the instructions on their website?
