Default 81 Starter Harness Question

Ordered the starter harness for an 81.

Red and purple are easy as they go to the starter.

There's are two that I don't knwo where they go:
1 - Black (which i think would go to ground)
1 - Plug with a light blue and a black on it. No clue where the plug goes.

Also, the distributor has a tach and power cable. Where to you typically get the power for the power led?

Hi Joe, The plug with blue and black wire is for the aux electric fan. It goes on the switch in between the 6 and 8 spark plugs. The heavy black is just what you said, a ground.
