Sorting out my eletrical mess

Well I already converted to carb so I am getting rid of the TBI harness but the Previous owner redid the harness and put the drivers side harness in with it.

I need help identifying a few drivers side wires:
2 solid purple ones
solid green
Tan with circular connector
brown

On the oil pressure sensor, will the one tan wire work for the oil pressure guage? I am making the fuel pump turn on when ign is on so I no longer need it to kick on for me.

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Re: Sorting out my eletrical mess

Yikes - there's many different purple, green, tan, brown wires.

On the purple - is one of them a heavy guage wire (like a 10 guage)? If so, that might be starter wire - runs from Nuetral Safety switch to starter.

Can you get us a pic for the tan with connector?

If you have the 3-wire oil pressure sending unit - the answer is yes, you can just connect a single wire to the opsu terminal that feeds the guage. I used the orange and red wires from the OPSU that run the fuel pump, and ran those to a relay thatg ets a hot-in-run wire and a ground to run my fuel pump when I swapped to carb - and so I actually seperated the 3 wires that ran to the OPSU like you are thinking.
