It's impossible for us to help you unless you tell us what vehicle and engine you're working on, and which wiring harness you mean. We're not mind readers. If you're really dead in the water, I'd suggest picking up a Chilton's, Ford shop manual, or browsing the wiring diagrams on Autozone's website.

Wow this looks familiar!
Basically everything will fall into place as you bolt everything back on man, just start with that.
Every wire usually only can go/reach one place.
Look at the empty connection that needs a wire, then look in close proximity to it and find that connector. It's not too hard but can look overwhelming.
OH and make dang sure you use hi-tack on both water pump gaskets and the thermostat housing!
Something also doesn't look quite right with that water pump gasket as I see it.
Do you know the plug wire order?
Obviously the vacuum lines plug into the upper intake.
Where is your injector/distributor wiring?
Good luck! I'll snap photos for you tomorrow.
