Question 302 Distributor Wire Up

The plug on my distributor broke and I don't know which wires connect together. Please help. I have an '81 F-100 w/ a 302.

The plug that connects to the distributor has three wires. Looking from the back of the plug, the first wire to the lower left is purple (looks black to me) with blue dash marks. The middle wire in the upper center is black with green dots and the wire to the lower right is orange with a faint yellow stripe. All three wires are fed to the distributor from the Module.
