take a pic of the loom plug, and i will pin it out for you. Its the black one. That connected to the car loom. From memory, green is rev counter, brown is earth, blak ign live red perm live and blak with red trace is fuel pump trigger. Brown with white is water temp to guage. Can't remember the others
