Ford 351w distributor wiring

Hello to all this is my first time posting on the forum. I'm currently having an issue with my 351w rebuild I reused a distributor that a had on hand the issue being that after lots of reading in leaning on a bad distributor. Now I want to buy a new one but most of the new ones that I'm seeing have a magnetic pick up which is what I want but they are factory harness types. Now I've looked thru wiring diagrams online and I can't find what wire is what like which wire is ground which goes to coil and which goes to power. The distributors I'm looking at are for a 85 f150 351w motor. If anyone knows which wire goes to what it would be a huge help.

A year for the application would be helpful, but the Duraspark II (DS II) has a plug that goes back to the control box, same witht he later TFI distributors. Coil and ground are handled by the controller.
