My distributor has one wire that's black with green and the other is black with violet. The black wire with the orange stripe is connected to the violet wire on the Summit box, and the black wire with the violet stripe goes to the green wire. The polarized plug and colour coding on the wiring is exactly the same as MSD so therefore pretty difficult to get wrong. That's not surprising considering MSD makes these boxes for Summit.
