Angry DESPERATE FOR HELP! 86-87 TPI owners, EASY question

Guys I'm in a pickle here. I need either a picture of the distributor plug or a description. On these years the distributor has a large plug with four round pots in it. I just need to know which order the wires are in.

I am trying to switch the plug on my DFI and I can' t find a good picture of a TPI distributor anywhere- I've been looking for two hours now.

For anybody that would help me but does not have a camera, here's what I need: If you take the plug, and face the clip down, face the plug towards yourself, and list the color of the wires from left to right. The white wire should be on the left.

I REALLY need help here, and would be forever indebted to anybody who could spend 30 seconds to look under the hood of their car and report back to me here. After throwing money at this car with both hands for a month, it's ready to run.... EXCEPT for these four wires

Ok guys, thanks for the correction. The car is an 86 and with the stealth ram I had to switch distributors. At the time it wasn't a big deal because the wires are colored the same, but now the dfi has completely different colors. I've been trying to get this resolved for a week now. I even tracked down a wiring list that showed the color and pin for every wire in the harness EXCEPT the four I need

This is getting rediculous.
