Simple wiring question

Guys,
Could one of you look at your 79 300 with gauges and tell me what color wire goes to the temp and OP sending units.
One should be red and the other white.
I am wiring and not ready to put power on it yet and these (the ohm meter trick does not work)..but want to dress the wires in as I go.

Thank you, Alex

Thank you for your response. I was beginning to wonder with 85 views and no responses, if I was asking too much if someone would take a look to see the colors.
Again, I do appreciate your response.
Alex
