From my experience, that pink wire should be for the hot wire for the distributor from the original motor. The best thing you can do, spend 25 bucks and buy a g body chassis manual/chilton/haynes book. Or at least try and find an electrical diagram of the engine compartment.
Thanks for the help I got it figured out thanks a lot guys.the kid I got the car from cut the wire from the main harness at the fire wall for some reason a guy close to me with the same care came over and let me look where his wire ran. It was a huge help now it's charging great
