Unknown connectors?

Hi everyone,

I'm so close to finishing my project but can't for the life of me find anything about the exact connections on this 13b wiring harness.

1-2 are under the car snaked down the left side of the engine to the transmission. It's a 4 pin white connector and what seems to be a small ground connector.

These are the two in question. The last things needed to be hooked up would be the hoses to the firewall and fuel lines to the engine (still need to look for a diagram on those). Thanks!!

Those almost look like the positive feed for the alternator and the connector for the crank angle sensor. I'll grab some pics later today off of one of my 88's and let you know.

If it helps, the wires are connected to the wiring harness on the left side of the engine. It feeds down the engine towards the transmission. It may go to the alternator but it would have to be pulled back and bent to them i think

The CAS is a 4-pin connector with white (W), red (R), blue (L) and green (G) wires. This matches your photo. Is the black wire solid black (B) or does it have a white stripe (B/W) on it? If it has a white stripe, than it's probably the alternator wire.

You were all right. The wiring harness looks to loop back where the wires for the starter seem to start. The harness hooks into a clamp near the rats nest and plugs into the CAS. It also grounds (Maybe?) onto the alternator with a smaller screw. Ill be making 1 last post with questions on hoses coming from the firewall, fuel in/out, vacuum ports and test connectors. THANK YOU!

If you end up needing some engine bay pics let us know. I can take some and post them up of specific areas you may need to see.

The thick gauge black/white (B/W) wire on the alternator is not a ground. That wire runs back through the main fuse block to the battery positive cable.
