Wires to the Ignition Coil

All --
My 1969 2000 was sitting in a field for a while. Several of the wires to the coil (two) are no longer attached (at 12 and 6 o'clock) and I am not sure where they go. There are also three connectors looking like they need wires attached to them as well. I have attached a picture. Anyone out there able to explain where the three unattached wires are supposed to go?
HELP!
John.

This is a simplified view of the coil to switch wiring for a ‘69-‘70 shown in the detailed diagram Curtis posted (I think he may of made this one too

). You’ll have to clean off the wires very well to confirm the color bands and where they attach (see detailed diagram for colors).
P.S. You also have the radio condenser attached to the ‘+’ side of the coil - That’s fine, just leave it there. This all assumes stock configuration. If you have an EI or 123 Dist (or other ED), wiring will be either a bit different or the whole coil will be obsolete
