Post Breakerless Distributor

Have newly rebuilt 302 in 54F100, trying to go stock breakerless distributor, but not sure of the wiring. Has 3 wires coming out of dist.: black with red stripe, black with purple stripe, and solid black. Will be using ballast resistor. Was thinking I could wire directly to coil byway of ballast. Any ideas for sure on color code and connection, ie pos/neg sides of coil??

Appreciate any help here.
Jim
