Wondering if anyone knows what these wires are for or where/what they are supposed to attach to? Had it in for the engine rebuild/repaint and when I got it back they weren't hooked up.



Unknown wires

The black and green to the AC compressor. The others likely to the limit switch on the AC line. The lug is the ground.

Or the light green wire goes to the solenoid on the front drivers side of the carb that is used to hold the idle up 100 RPM's more when the A/C is on due to the added load when the A/C compressor is working.

Probably since its a single wire and it looks like the correct connector.
