Need help figuring out 4 wires..

I need help figuring out 4 wires, ive sorted and fixed the whole harness except the wires by the back of distrib. ( i have an 84 bird ). original v6 car, v8 swapped. I assume the 4 wires will be Battery to distrib, Tach, Oil Press, and Temp gauge. Anyone help? Ill go try and figure out colors on them tonight. is there anyway i can test the wires and see which gauge moves?

Maybe this is a dumb question... are you running carb or EFI?

Re: Need help figuring out 4 wires..

Haha, it just threw me for a second when you didn't mention ECM... I had to rewire my ignition setup last year and had to figure out my wiring too, and the way I did it was ohm metering the wires to their respective connections on the ECM... I'm not gonna be of any help on your setup though. Sorry.

Re: Need help figuring out 4 wires..

None of those wires changed from the V6 to V8 conversion and lucky for you, they never changed from 82-92, so ANY 3rd gen harness will have what you need

You want F4 (PNK), D6 (WHT or BLK/WHT), E5 (TAN) and F5 (DK GRN) respectively
