Default HEI Coil Question

I have searched and found a few questions about the proper connection for this coil, but I haven't found the answer. Does anyone know which 2 of the 4 terminals goes to the primary of this coil?

The coil is a Neihoff PT227 used on a 1977 Chevy Nova with the I-6 motor. It is used on many GM cars from 1975 to 1984. This is the coil that was called out in the HEI upgrade threads.
Thanks for the help. Maybe we'll finally put this one to rest.

OK... here is what I have found. Positive and negative terminals are shown in the pic. Both terminals on each side are connected internally, so you have 2 positives, and 2 negatives. I tested it with a 9 volt battery and it throws a spark.

My wife says I have OCD. I don't even know what that is, but I'm gonna keep looking, as long as it takes, to find out what it is!
