So what wires do you have left in the engine bay from the V6 setup?

Do you have the temp and OP sensors from the V6?

I'm pretty sure the 4 prong connector near the firewall is the v6 distributor connector I just need to know wht color the tach wire is and I still have pretty much all the original wiring that was in the car
