Is the car a four speed, sounds like clutch interlock wires?

Could be just wires that went to the radio at one point...does it have a working radio? The purple could have gone to the radio noise capacitor..yellow to the fuse...but I am not real sure...The shop manual would send you in the right direction.

I think I have a digital image of the wiring diagram. If you send me your e-mail I'll send you a picture.
