The dash idiot lights are flickering and the oil pressure sending unit
wire has lost all of its insulation . I would like to reroute this
wiring away from under the crank pully . I have misplaced my Haynes
manual . Could someone please identify which corresponding wires
at the gray connector is the alternator "field " wire and the oil
pressure sending unit wire ? -thanks

The red wire is D+/61 at the alternator.
The black wire is the OPS
The yellow wire is the coolant temp sender for the gauge
The blue/yellow wire goes to the starter

The 'Wrench is right, oil pressure sender wire is black, harnesses for
'85-87 cars is $318 at ipd. Green op wires are found on 240Ts only. You
might also try Dave Barton's site for a good used replacement harness. The
under engine wires just show the damage first, you will find other areas in
the engine compartment where the insulation flakes off over time and
exposure to heat and oil, fix them all at once for ~$160

I've gotten a couple from him, good quality and half the dealer cost.

Even on a turbo the OPS wire is black. The green wire goes to the Oil
pressure gauge through a separate harness.

Sorry Bob, got 2 turbos sitting right outside and the green gauge wire goes
through the main harness with the black oil light wire, alt' exciter and
heavy B+ cable. I should have been clearer but I was addressing Brick_0's
innaccurate information regarding the green wire in a NA 240. The
accessory gauges for non turbos had a seperate harness with a green wire but
a stock 240 has no green wire associated with oil pressure.. The original
poster has an '85 NA wih a black oil light only setup.
