Reassembling the firewall accessories including the solenoid and washer pump. Problem being, my "tape labeling" of the wire locations from several months ago, is now illegible. Can someone provide the wiring colors and/or locations for the solenoid and washer pump wiring?? Maybe a good close-up picture if available?? Thanks, EW

See the attached, looking at the start solenoid from the connections side.
The large red wire at the top is the battery positive, bottom heavy black wire is to starter motor.
Thick brown wires on the top common'ed with the red battery wire connect to the alternator circuits. White/yellow and white/pink common'd wires on the RH side are to the coil (pink-white is the ignition ballast wire). The red/white and orange/white wires on the LH side are to the starter switch (red-white) and to the annoying seatbelt timer-buzzer.
As for the washer pump, there should only be two wires connecting to it. A green-black power connection that comes from the wiper switch and emerges out of the bundle of harness wires that runs beside the start solenoid on the scuttle. You can see it in the attached pic. I have an aftermarket replacement pump, so in this photo the green/black is spliced to a red wire that actually goes to the pump. If you have the original pump, the green-black should attach directly. The second wire is a black ground wire that come off the common grounds on the side of the battery box. You can barely see the ground point in this photo up at the top RH side of the pic.
