Question mallory 685 harness wires not same color (Need help please)

So i bought the mallory 685 and the harness to hook it up to the coil (harness part no# is 29068) but the mallory harness wire are not the same as the wires coming out of the box. the wire on the harness are one green one red one white and one pink. Coming out of the box i have one green on yellow one black and one red. so can anybody help me hook this thing up?

thanks for the help. The reason i bought the mallory harness is so that all the colored wires would match and would be a breeze to tye into the wires coming from the mallory box. if i would have just bought the msd harness i could have done a search and came up with the proper color code to tye it into the wires coming from the box.

This is getting crazzy i called up mallory today and asked them why there are diffrent colored wire and whitch one is what and they proceded to tell that the mallory 685 will not work on an lt1. then i told the guy it has an external coil and then he told me that i bought the wrong harness and that they dont sell one for an lt1. I then told him that it is all hooked up and all i need to know is what does the white and pink goto on the box side of the wiring needless to say he could not help me and blew me off saying it wasnt made for my car.
