Joel,

The wiring connector you seek should be right under the power brake booster. There are two connectors there. One has four wires: ignition wire to balast resistor, wire for temp guage, wire to starter solinoid, and one to the alternator for the charge or ignition light. The other connector with the large brown wires are the main power wires to the fuse box. There are two other wires not in these connectors that run to the windshield washer motor.

The ingition wire is either a standard wire, white with a red stripe as I recall, or the Nichrome wire that is used on later cars that replaces the balast resistor. I'm not sure what color the Nichrome wire is. I beleive in either case this wire runs to the back of the tach under the dash. The other wire from the balast resistor to the starter provides full 12 volt power to balast resistor only while starter motor is engaged.
