Engine Swap-Need wiring help
I am putting a 302/AOD from an 84 E100 Van in a project. This is not an EFI or throttle body, it appears to be a 2-bbl feedback carburetor. I want to put it in and leave all the computer wiring intact for now because it ran when it came out. I probably will change to Aluminum intake and 4-bbl and earlier Duraspark later. I have all the wires figured out but 2. On the drivers side of the engine harness there are 3 plugs; one to the transmission (neutral safety and backup lights), one to the coil and gauge senders, and a third that I don't understand. It has 1 light blue wire, 2 white wires and a red with light blue stripe(vehicle side). The light blue wire does not have a pin on the engine side of the harness, only on the vehicle side. The red with blue stripe is daisey-chained to the starter engage wire, so I know what it does. That leaves the 2 white wires. I think one comes from switched power and the other appears to go to energize the alternator field. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This question is also posted in the 48-62 section, but this one seems more appropriate.
