Default Engine loom wires, which is which?

I have a 2wd cosworth engine and ecu/loom that I am grafting into a westfield and am not sure about the wiring! Does anybody have an engine loom diagram (thats easy to read) or at least can shed any light on how to just wire up the ecu for it to go? I think that I need to connect the blue/red to 12v and black to 12v ign? and I understand the system earths through the ecu and a header on the inlet manifold stud? Help I dont need smoke or ££...

Here you go mate

green - from coil negative to rev counter
red - from permanent +12V to both relays (pin 30)
black - from switched +12V to both relays (pin 86)
black/red - from fuel pump relay (pin 87) to fuel pump
brown/white - from temp sender to temp gauge

Well, I have at the loom connector:-

Black = ?
Red/Blue = ?
Light green = Rev counter
Brown/white = Water temp

So what are the black and red/blue?

Thanks M8,
