The wiring harness is out of the car and I am preparing to reinstall it. This includes identifying the purpose of each terminal on the harness. There are two wires near the tail end of the harness in the engine bay that I cannot identify. The wires are red and blue in the photo below. I have labeled the wires nearby as a point of reference. Please let me know if you can identify these two wires. This harness is for a 72 Pre L.

Red is ignition going to ballast resistor and blue is tach signal connecting to minus side of coil.
Is it possible the blue wire is going to the distributor?
No, it needs to be on the coil side of the ballast resistor.
electrick choke ?
Steve,
Given the exit point of the blue and red wires from the wire loom, the blue wire probably goes to the distributor and the red wire goes to the throttle position solenoid.

John,
I think your descriptions of the wires are accurate.
Thanks, Steve
