Hi Bert,
The 2 to the left of center (blue and yellow with the tubular connectors) are pretty easy!

Thanks Alan, I figured out right after I posted that the 2 on the far left are the anti-theft switch for the hood..you ID'd the next two..still need some help on others.. I think the orange is oil pressure but according to drawings it should be blue

Hi Bert,
There are 2 relays mounted on that small bracket.
In 71 the engines had an emission control system called Combined Emission Control (CEC).
Those relays are part of the system and control a vacuum/electric solenoid on the carburetor that increases idle speed at certain engine operating temperatures and in other situations.
One is a 'reversing relay' and the other is a 'delay timer'.
I don't know whether your 73 has something similar that those wires may be connectors for.
Sorry I can't be of more help!

Alan

76vette1,
Your reply made me think about something..the plug size on the orange wire is too big to be the fan. I just went out and looked and it is the plug on the side of the Trannsmission. the TCS switch. In this picture the purple is the fan motor feed with a/c, the small orange would be used on non-A/C cars and the larger orange plug matchs the TCS switch with size and offset of the plug.
Thanks for the input it made me snap that the plugs were different sizes.
