The big fat yellow wire is constant battery 12v in, the big threaded post is 12v in the on and acc position, the red wire with green stripe goes to the + side of your ignition coil(so hot in start and on position) and it has a resistor in it(cant remember what resistance), the last wire red with yellowish stripe goes to the starter solenoid. If your re-wiring the whole car it might be a good idea to buy a shop manual with wiring diagrams, if you cant find one at your local auto parts store most Mustang specialty shops in the bay area would have one for early Mustangs. Hope this helps!
