'85 AOD wiring

Hey guys I'm swapping my AOD to a T5 and need to know which of the 4 wires on my AOD plug are which. I need to splice them into the plugs on the T5 for lights and NSS. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Red/blue-stripe will be for the NSS. I think the reverse lights are purple/orange hash.

Great! I'll get some connectors and get it up and going soon. I may post an article on the T5 swap just in case some people are interested. Thanks again!

Red/blue are starter, purple/orange is power, black/pink is backup lights. if there is a 5th wire it had to do with seat belt warning most likely.

Bill very well could be right here, I don't remember for certain about the black wires.

I was originally remembering black/blue-stripe but I believe that's used for switched interior lighting. Black/pink came to mind, too, but I found purple/orange in the wiring diagram and just went with that without looking at what it's for, just that it's in that area.
