sounds like Orange/Purple/Black would match Red/Purple/Black

Open up the distributor and see where the wires go, that should tell you which wire matches up with which wire in your wiring kit. Ford is not consistant with their wire color coding. EZ and most of the others use GMs color coding because they were consistant.
