Default Problems installing 6al MSD ignition HELPPPPPPPP : )

Can someone please lead me through this? I just bought a used 6AL box that didn't come with a tfi harness and I'm trying to hook it up today, I do have a TFI MSD blaster coil and an MSD billetdistributor. I understand how to hook up the large positve red to the battery and the large negative to the batterys ground, but after that im kinda lost.... On my coil connector there is a red wire and a green wire and on the 6al box the ones your supposed to connect to the coil are Black - and orange + Which one on the coilconnector is positive and negative? I would assume red is the positve but i dont wanna be unsure...Also there is another set of red and white wires that say that the red supposed to goto switched 12 volts? Where does that go? And the white one to points or amplifier output? Where do thoughs go? Then this Mag pickup connector? Im so lost can anyone help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I would super appreiciate it, I heard these boxes are awesome, I wanna check it out....

the switched 12 volts should go to any wire that is hot when ignition is switched on..... on the back of the box is just a generic hook up in the instruction booklet on the website it'll have a diagram for your exact application

I'm still kinda lost even looking at the MSD site. Basically just need to know does the oarge wire go to the red wire on the connector? And where does the other red and white wires go?

Glad to hear you got it working because on the website there is a diagram with all the color codes and wiring makes it simple.
