Default identify these wires

while under the dash fixing my odo reset, i took these photo's to see if i can find out what these wires are
car is a '72 -350 auto, a/c, p/w

in this photo;
what are the 2 purple/white stripe wires in the black connector? (middle/right hand side)
what is the single pink/black stripe in the opaque connector? (middle/cntr)
the white and black wires with the taped connectors that go into the main loom? (bottom)



and in this photo;

I looked at the wiring diagrams for your 72 and came up with this:
first photo-Purple and purple white (clutch safety switch for manual transmission)
black and tan I think go to the fuel gauge
pink and black go to the key warning buzzer (not sure about that one, that wire looks new)

Second picture the diagram says "orange fusible) and it is jumpered off the black and white wires off the brake warning switch and goes up to the horn relay. I will try to e-mail you the wiring diagrams I have.

The purples are the clutch safty switch (not used with your Auto trannie).

Thanks for the link. These are great to have. I can download them, enlarge and print out the sections I need. And make them big enough to read!

Thanks again for posting this.
