Wiring Question


Does anyone know where these blue and yellow wires are supposed to go? I looked on a schematic but could not find them. The blue wire coming out of the bottom may have gone to something after market. It is hot with the ignition turned to on. 12v 78 F150

Off the top of my mind it goes to the idle solenoid. I could be mistaken.

I thought electric choke power during these years was always a white with black wire off the stator post of the alternator.
But that’s just off the top of my head so I could be wrong as well.

The W/Bk wire comes from the alternator stator connection, used to power the electric choke coil.
The BL wire comes from Fuse 5 and is used to power various things per the factory wiring diagrams (Carb float bowl vent solenoid, Carb throttle emission control solenoid, etc.)
