distributor wireing

a previous owner has cut the male connector off the truck harness for the distributor (what the #%$*) i was unable to find a pigtail so i had to cut the female connector off of the distributor pigtail only trouble is , the colors of the truck wires do not correspond to the colors of the wires on the distributor ???
this is mostlikely because the distributor is from an 85 gt stang and the truck is a 77
something might have changed over 8 yrs any help would be greatly appreciated

Both had the same wire colors, PPL/BLU, BLK/GRN and ORG/YEL.
