The red and black one goes to the underhood light on the hood support. Still looking for the green one.

The underhood light on this car had been powered by some add on wires pulled in through the speedo cable. Everything seems to have been Bubbafied by a very young owner. Looks like he went to Pepboys and bought everything in the MrGasket/chromie bling bling aisle. I am not restoring, but trying to do a functional tasteful repair.

The first thing is ditch the air cleaner. The fire could have started there.

You are close. Rubber fuel line, covered by fake braided hose.
Must have sprayed gas everywhere. We bought this car cheap. I just can not pass up a challenge.
