If you are running hei, none of those.. just run a wire from the batt terminal of the hei to the port on your fuse block that says ign switched(one that is hot when the ignition is on).
the dark green is the temp guage, and the other two should run back to the ign switch, one is on the hot terminal of the startre, and the other is for the start part of the solenoid.
the old coil wire which you will delete should be easy to spot, because it runs in that harness, but only runs from the starter to the coil, it does not go back into the cab. the silver wire, brown coated wire that performs the job of the ballast resistor should have been hooked to the same "run" terminal of the solenoid, just tape that one off, and don't hook it up.
