    Hello everyone, I have finally gotten around to making some real progress on my Maverick. I bought the car 10 years ago as a bright eyed 17 year old with the ambition of making a go fast machine. But since then reality interfered with my dreams, from college to, moving, to getting married, to buying a house, to having kids I'm sure everyone has been there. Anyway when I bought the car it was a 200 I6 C4 automatic 2 door car. I pulled the motor and trans shortly after I bought it with intentions of dropping in my V8 immediately afterwards, and that didn't happen. Now I have engine wiring pigtails hanging around and I have no clue where they go. I've looked back through old threads and looked at all the wiring diagrams, and still scratching my head on a couple things. I've attached pictures of what's got me stumped, any heals is greatly appreciated!

    In the first two pics the (2) prong connector goes to your high idle switch I believe and the 3 prong is for your ignition (bigger green wire), (water temp red) I believe and oil (white)
