It's not stock. Where does it go after snaking around the distributor?

Is there anything not working? Do you have an electric choke?

the blue wire(+) went to an electric fan motor in the shroud, it plugged into the motor , then a black wire (-) came back through a temp. sensor in the cyl. head, then to frame ground. the sensor was set at about 235°.
