Engine wiring help (pictures)

Hey i'm doing my first engine swap and have lost track of most of the wiring i was hoping you guys could help me out. Please don't be to harsh i'm only 18 and have never done this before thanks. I put a picture of how i have the distributor wired i'm not sure if that's correct also in the first picture i think those 2 plug into each other like that but not sure.

1. Not sure. I think that might be the wiring for the electric choke. What side of the engine does it correspond to? The green *might* be the temp sender wire if it is on the driver's side.

2. that is the oil pressure sensor wire. It should go behind the distributor.

3. you are right.

4. That looks like the switching valve plug for the AIR injection system (smog)

5. the ground wires should go to a stud on the back of a head.

last pic- that should attach to the engine to bellhousing bolt (I am pretty sure, anyhow).

Re: Engine wiring help (pictures)

Old motor was 305 new one is 350 btw. Oil pressure sensor i didn't think there was anything behind the distributor.. The sensor above the oil filter i'm not sure what it's called it may be the oil pressure sensor has a different wiring connector that i didn't take a picture of but picture number 2 isn't for the sensor above the oil filter that much i know... I think this one may go the temp sensor??

Re: Engine wiring help (pictures)
