Here is the pdf instructions: http://www.mr-gasket.com/pdf/6852M_6853M.pdf
Here is a clip of the PDF:
WIRE FUNCTIONS
Power Leads
The two heavy gauge wires (14 gauge) that deliver battery voltage
to the ignition:
Heavy Red
Connects directly to the battery positive (+)
terminal or to a positive battery junction. It could
also be connected to the positive side of the
starter solenoid.
NOTE: Never connect this wire
to the alternator.
Heavy Black
Connects to frame or chassis ground.
Trigger and Coil Leads
Small Red
Connects to a switched 12 volt source, such as
the ignition key.
Orange
Connects to the positive (+) terminal of the coil.
NOTE: This is the only wire that makes
electrical contact with the coil positive (+)
terminal.
Small Black
Connects to the negative (–) terminal of the coil
NOTE: This is the only wire that makes
electrical contact with the coil negative (–)
terminal.
Trigger Wires
Either of two circuits will trigger the HYFIRE® 6A
Ignition Control: a points circuit (white wire) or a
magnetic pickup circuit (violet and green wires).
NOTE: The two circuits will never be used
together.
White
Connects to points, electronic ignition amplifier
output or to the green wire of a Mallory timing
accessory. When this wire is used, the magnetic
pickup connector is not used.
Violet/Green
These wires are routed together in one harness
to form the magnetic pickup connector. The
connector plugs directly into a Mallory distributor
or crank trigger. It will also connect to factory
magnetic pickups or other aftermarket pickups.
The violet wire is positive (+) and the green is
negative (–). When these wires are used, the white
wire is not used. Consult the chart that shows the
polarity of other common magnetic pickups

Yellow
Connects to the tachometer.
