71 mystery wires

After 3 years I finally got my engine back in. I have a couple of wires that I cant identify the placement for. Ready to see if she will start but need to figure out where these go.





I cannot locate the other side of this two pin. Where should it be?

That doesn't look like a factory connector to me.

Red comes out of the main wiring loom and is the +12v feed for the cdi
The grey-white should not go to the cdi but to the cold start solenoid on top of the fuel filter.
The two pin connector looks like the feed for the fuel pump (red-green wire) that sits under the left rear seat pan

I do have a large wire from the look connected to the CDI, it was just not visable in the picture. My fuel pump also works. What throws me on the red wire is that it is a male connector and the conector on the CDI is male.

The male connector should be connected to the main wiring loom that runs from the relay plate to the front of the car (so not to the cdi itself, the red wire goes to the big 3 pin plug that is connected to the underside of the cdi).

The grey/white provides +12v, so please don't connect that to the cdi ground.

The plug by the shock tower should go to the rear window defroster and the single spade goes to your engine wire harness.
