Default cam sensor wiring

I'm looking for so help on wiring up the Gen 1V cam sensor to a megasquirt MS3 Ultimate, I understand that the sensor needs a 5v supply which i can connect to one of the VREF 5V + outputs from the ECU and then connect the CMK + and a sensor return. The problem I have is with the connector pin designation, I can't seem to find any information on the connector I have, looking into the 3 pin pigtail connector with the locking tab up I have right to left A terminal red wire, B in the middle pink and black wire and C brown and white wire. Can you tell me which wire goes to where, or in idiot speak how I can test sensor to find out.
I'm thinking
A terminal red wire 5V+ in
B terminal pink and black sensor return -
C terminal brown and white ECU to sensor +

Never done this before so bear with me and the engine hasn't been run before just finished building it.
Regards Tim

Pin C, 5V reference.
Pin B, Low reference
Pin A, Crank sensor signal.

Just an FYI, I found this on LT1Swap.com
