Default Underhood wiring questions.....

Hello!

Looking for a one stop source for the wiring connector housings under the hood......need both for the A/C relay. The Vette suppliers do not seem to break it down this far.....need the replaceable terminals too.....just want to buy from one place.....

Also.....what color was the wire for the temp sending unit and where did it pick up at? (Head, Intake?) What end did it have on it?

Does anybody have a nice closeup photo(s) of their factory wiring along the firewall? Just trying to make it look like a semblance of what it once was....

Here are a couple of quick photos I snapped.....do any of you Pros know what these are? They are not on the Doc Rebuild diagram...and if they are I can not connect the dots.....
The first two I can't identify....the third is what I believe to be the Temp sender wire.
The beige single wire has 12v going to it *key on*.








Thank you for your help!!!!!
Vette On!!!!!

Found the connectors finally on Willcox's site......placed an order for some knick knacks and do-dads.....

Still looking for info on the wire termination.

Thanks!

I figured this out......
The beige single wire is the idle stop solenoid.
The other four into two is the TCS solenoid.
The black wire is the TCS switch.

No wonder they were all loose.....they were on the Doc's diagram but hard to see.

I re-routed everything and installed new blower relay and circuit breaker.
Plus I got the blower motor working and power to the A/C terminal when turned on!

Now on to the wipers....
