Default Memory is gone

I can' seem to remember where these two wires go.
Can you help me out. Everything else went fine w/
the engine drop. Here are a few pics. I wiil be removing
the rubber fuel lines as soon as I get my new one made up.

Thanks for the reply. But are you sure about the pink one
I already have the double pink wire and another pink
connected to the coil and this one doesn't seem to
reach the coil. Oh and I am waiting for my fan shroud
to arrive, just got anxious to see what it was going to
look like.

Pink wire goes to the ballast resistor, which seems to be missing, and the green wire goes to the temperature sending unit.

Nice job, looks graet!

P.S. I know what you mean about your memory being gone. I seem to have the same problem.

It went pretty smooth. Like I said I used your method. I
had a welding shop down the street make the plates I
ran the chain to to keep it off the manifold, like I saw in
your pics. Unfortunately no work tonight, went to dinner
w/ the wife and some friends, pawned the kids off on the
neighbors. So we are home alone

This explains why I don't remember things like I use to.

Looks great, keep us posted.

Keep the stock setup and a set of points in the car in case the electronics fail.
