I've been trying to find them all using these diagrams but I don't know if I'm stupid or what but I can hardly match any of these to the diagraam.

In the meantime I'll keep screwing around with these diagraams..thanks for any future help.

first one goes to your wipers on one of the two plugs

near the firewall check for a relay either near the distributor or on the fire wall itself

I think goes to the distruibutor?? Third gen hawks sells a connector that looks just like mine.

EDIT: I can't find a spot to connect that plug to the distributor. There's a plug on the distributor that connects to the distributor cap but that's it. Do I have a different distributor or something?

here's what mine looks like:

your distributor is not computer controlled. If you're deleting the computer controlled setup on your car you will have several unused plugs when you're finished

ah ok thanks. I want to stay with the computer.
I don't get why everyone always wants to rip out all of these wires and get rid of the computer I'm pretty sure it helps you.
