1980 Malibu 3.8 Chevy with A/C. What are these? Diagrams describe wire colors but not terminal type. ‘Green’ doesn’t really help on a diagram after 40 years of service and 3 different green wires. I can toggle the key and and dig and figure out at some point but you guys could save me some effort while I spend my time heading to the parts store.

The two wires with the ring connectors in the last photo go to your starter. The wires will have a different feel because theyre fusible links. The plastic barrels are just OEM connectors.

Pic 1 is the oil presure switch plug, pic 2 is looking like a computer harness plug, pic 3 is cruise control pigtails, as stated above pic 4 is the starter wires with the crimp cover barrels & that green wire/white end is the temp switch plug.

The starter wires I knew and the rest you have saved me lots of time. I am curious as to what the computer wire is for?

Thanks guys
