This is a 6 pin ignition switch which only uses five terminals. Black, Pink, Yellow, Red w/Blue stripe, & two Red w/Green stripe on one terminal.

I need diagram and specific connection details for each wire. I havent found this wire color combo anywhere on Google.

My circuit includes a Ignition switch, starter solenoid, ballast, ignition module, coil and electric distributor, which I need to correctly connect the wires mentioned above.
My car has an automatic transmission.
