There is a wiring diagram in the factory shop manual. The manuals are also available online.
Otherwise, I can get you the info when I get home tonight, as I have a 194 in a '53 and I still have the stock harness...

18ga pink should go to the coil, and can be traced back to the gas gauge.
10ga red should go to the solinoid terminal closest to the engine, and traces back to the ignition switch.
10ga black should go to the large center terminal on the solinoid, and traces back to the ammeter gauge.
This is how it is on my '53 and what it shows in the manual.

One other thing, if you are running HEI, then you wouldn't use the 18ga pink, you would want to run a new 10ga wire from keyed power on the ignition switch directly over to the dizzy.
If you are running points, add a voltage resistor or use a coil with a built in resistor.

Wire it like its for points and follow the instructions that come with the Pertronix. If in doubt, call Pertronix...
