Replacing ECT and IAT sensors

I am replacing the ECT and IAT sensors on a 1994 f250 XLT 460 truck. I got the Delphi TS10001 sensor and pigtail kit for the ECT, it has 2 plain white wires coming out of the pigtail. Does it matter what color wires on the truck harness connect to which pin/wire on the sensor/pigtail?

you cant see but my wiring is not in good condition, so in the future the best thing I could do is to actually splice into the harness upstream with a fresh new wire , 2 of them, and put new terminals. alternatively, a new pigtail probably comes with a long enough wire. i have my good-for-now repair hidden under that conduit
