That's clean compared to the rest of the butchery! But yeah, gonna have to do something with them. The correctest answer would be to depin at the firewall if that's doable.

If it's the computer wires just pull it all back into the interior from the passenger side toe board where the computer sat. After that you'll just need something to plug that hole.
I repurpose that hole for EFI wiring. Mine had another 6-8 wires from the fuse panel on the driver side.
No matter, they aren’t needed once the CCC. Carb disappears - make them do the same.

A computer should have a switched power wire. I can solder that to a random wire that's under the hood to run the choke if I don't find any others already there.
The choke was never part of the computer harness. It was tied into the oil warning light switch in the read of the block with a direct feed fuse in the very top right spot in the fuse box.
What color is the wire? This fuse box wasn't under the hood, was it?
Edit: NM, this took me all of 2 seconds to find on the Google machine.
choke wiring
can someone please explain to me where the choke wire gets its 12v and how choke lt and oil pressure switch are connected in this circuit? I cannot seem to find a clear schematic for this.. does it run through the computer somehow as well? I have all electronics still intact and its an 84s...

It'll be a brown wire that changes to brown/white at the firewall connector that (as from earlier postings that it was originally a V6) would of went to a wide open throttle relay, then to the switch itself. From the switch, a light blue one runs to the choke. There would of also been a third wire going to either the oil light-tan (warning light dash) or to the choke light-green/white (gauge dash).
Looks like Standard Ignition PS126 is my Huckleberry?
Find that damn brown wire, pipe it into that, and split the output between the idiot light and the choke and I'm golden. There's no relays or anything under the hood, unless that WOT relay was inside the car.

On later 3.8/231, they had no vaccuum & four extra wire for the CCC to control advance.
That's the switch. That brown wire (brown/white engine side) will be adjacent to one of the main red (circuit 2) wires at the fire wall connector. Now note the there could be a chance it could be just brown under the hood as if the harness was swapped out from another car that was a V8. If you don't have the OE rubber socket, you'll want the choke wire & the warning light wire (if using a warning light) to share the same terminal on the switch.
This pdf diagram is from my '81 book that I had already scanned will show how it was under the hood which is similar to the '83. Circuit 250 is the choke fused feed from the fuse box, circuit 78 is the choke, circuit 31 is the warning light dash oil light, circuit 931 is the gauge dash choke (oil) warning light.
