I recently put a new clutch in my 1974 Ford 3000. Unfortunately I have a few questions on the wiring. Attached is a picture called "Solenoid". You will see a connection on the solenoid and I have nothing that will plug into it. Does anyone know what the connection is used for. It is shown in the picture.

By the generator there is another connection. This comes off the main wiring harness and there is nowhere to plug it in. It is hanging by the generator. The generator picture shows the wire.

The last question is a ground that comes off the main wiring harness. It is obviously a ground. With this wire there are two other connections which I do not believe were used anywhere. The picture that says "harness" shows the wires.

When I turn the key on, there is nothing. My guess is the one for the solenoid. Lessons learned is I will label them next time. Unfortunately there were 6 hands tearing it apart and I didn't get a chance to label them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

the last picture the end with the round hole is not a ground it bolts to the back of the solenoid where the batery cable is conect one of the others in the last picture should be a female spade style connector and it connects on the the spaded you showed in the first picture. the last connector in the last picture should be a round plug in style connector that if you had a could start aid you would plug the wire into it and the coldstart aid the wire by the gen should be the oil pressure wire or temp sensor

You have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. That explains a lot to me. Again, I would have remembered these connections if it was my eyes removing it. Unfortunately guys like tearing it apart and then going home. I will be making my changes tomorrow. I also am replacing my key switch because I looked and one of the leads are broke off. Hmmmm, replacing the pressure plate was quite easy.

Thanks again! I really appreciate your response.
