Can someone tell me what these connectors are supposed to connect to? I've been tearing this electrical supplement manual apart trying to figure out the last few connections on this motor!

Pic 1 - the green wire I am not sure of - it could be for the idle stop solenoid. The second connector, the WP connector, looks like the M/C solenoid connect wire.

Pic 2 - distributor/coil power source. You need this!

Thanks Silocon! What is "M/C"? And all of these wires are part of the engine harness. In the electrical supplement it labels the green ones as something along the lines of "instrument guages cluster" I believe. Hopefully that reinforces your Pic 1 thoughts? You're a great help Silicon, if you were my neighbor I'd keep my garage fridge stocked full of whatever your favorite beverage is :)

M/C is Mixture Control - one of two computer controls on the carb (the other being the throttle position sensor).

The only two things I can recall on the engine that use the type of connection that your green wire in pic 1 depicts are the idle stop solenoid and the temperature switch. Given its proximity to the M/C line, I'd say it's the former.
