Default Ignition coil wiring

If anyone is familiar with this ignition system, I could use some help
I am not sure if the coil is wired up correctly
There is a purple and white wire, a pink wire, a blue wire, a white and black wire, and a white wire
There is also another wire, it could be brown, it is cut, and I am thinking goes to a tach?
I am just assuming the purple and white wire goes to the vacuum switch ?

The motor is an S&S , mid 2000, Pan lower, shovel top, left side alternator, a small battery where the generator would go.
So if anyone is familiar with that coil ignition system and color coded wires, I could use some help as to where those wires hook up to the coil, thank you
