Installing new M&H wiring in our ‘67 B’cuda. The car’s old wiring was butchered or missing, so I have been relying on schematics and general location (and type) to figure it out. The voltage regulator was missing, as well.

I have the harness to the point where I think (from photos) that they would connect to the new voltage regulator (and the ballast resistor…maybe the windshield washer pump?), but I am not sure what color goes where, or where do all of them go.

Can anyone label the wires in the photo?
 
Did you get the upgraded harness with elec ign? I'm not 100% but I believe brown/blue to starter relay and the other 2 to ballast resistor. I'll chk ours tomorrow, shoot me a reminder.
 
It is not upgraded for electronic ignition. Supposed to be direct replacement for the original… before the Junkyard Boys started hacking.
 
I would guess single dark blue is original type (up through 69) voltage regulator, other two go to ballast. If so, the one with blue and brown should lead to the coil + wire, which should be blue with an eyelet.
 
I don't see a ballast resister on your car or a voltage regulator. That is where all those wires go. If you have a ballast resister on your car somewhere else someone wired it in . They usually are used with aftermarket coils . Here are some pictures of 67's that are here that Todd has.

I can get close ups and wire colors if needed. There are 6 cars here that are pretty much original wiring that Todd has for parts for his cars
 
Electric washer pump gets a single brown wire. I don't see it in your pic.
 
The green with the uninsulated terminal goes to the field of the electro mechanical VOLTAGE regulator.

You can verify that by checking for 0 ohms at the green field wire at the alt to the uninsulated green terminal.

I'm more of a test light kind of guy. I would put the battery in it and put my negative on the negative of the battery touch it against the positive to make sure it works and then do things like turn the ignition to the arm position and see which ones light up. Turn the ignition to the start position and see if anything likes up and then push the windshield washer squirter button and see which one lights up...
