1985 wiring help (screwed up)

[millwrightdude]

When I did the dura spark conversion,I removed the wires to the back up lights and the electric choke by mistake. I screwed up. I have know idea where to even start on fixing this. I looked at the wiring diagrams and its all greek to me.

This might be helpful for the choke wiring:

Some do prefer a manual choke vs the electric.

The backup(reverse) light wiring shouldn't be in the engine compartment.
There is a switch on the transmission that supplies the power for those lights.
However it gets it's power from a 15amp fuse in the cab which also powers the Flasher(turn signals), it looks like.
Here is the diagram:

Do you have a manual or automatic transmission?

Looks like Purple/Orange wire from fuse to transmission, then Black/Pink from transmission to reverse light bulbs

I have a 5speed that was once an automatic . When I did the dura spark conversion I removed all the computer stuff, and I accidently remove removed the wires going to the backup lights. I want to replace the carb with one from a non emissions 2.8 but Im not having much luck finding one. I might have to buy a rebuilt one, or a new holley carb

The lights worked after I did the 5 sp conversion. I screwed up when I was removing the old ECM harness and removed the ones to the backup lights.
