Default wire identification

Hello Gentlemen,
I need a little heip to identify the orientation in relation to color on my 1979 corvette's a/c- heater blower resistor connector. It is a four terminal connector two terminals side by side, and two terminals one over the other. I need to know what color (Dark Blue, Tan, Light Blue, and Brown) goes to what terminal connector in the orientation discribed above. Thanks for any help.
David

Yes, I have this schematic, but schematic's blower resistor has three connections at top and one connection at bottom. The physical connector on auto has two at top and two at bottom I no longer have the physical connector which would orientate the wires correctley so I must connect each color wire individually to each of the four individual male connector lugs on top of resistor. If you have a corvette with this type resistor a easy way to reslove this question is to pop hood, on passanger side remove resistor connector on top of heater box exposing four male resistor lugs and record which color wire goes to which of the four male resistor lugs on top of resistor.
Thanks for any help.

hope this helps some, its the black plug in middle of pic, tan and dark blue wire are side by side, light blue is in the middle, brown wire is by itself on opposite end towards firewall, ignore all the other wiring its for electric fans.
