Name these wires!

Anyone know what these wires are for? They are located right by the relays on the driver side firewall.

Can was originally a TBI, but is now carbed.

Re: Name these wires!

Would help to know the wire colors in each connector... The round one looks like it COULD be an oxygen sensor or something, but without knowing what color wire is running into it...

Looks like coolant temp sender(one for the gauge) and the other looks like o2 sensor.

Re: Name these wires!

The purple wire with the round connector could be for the O2 sensor, yes. A carbed engine won't need an O2 sensor.

The rectangular connector might be for the dash temperature gauge if the wire is dark green.
