I have a 1970 914/6. When I pulled the motor out, the 14 pin Main Harness that sits on the Relay Board in the engine compartment came apart. Thus I have no idea which wire goes where. I have 6 wires. (2 are grey and black and go to the transmission back-up switch/sender. 1 Green and brown and 1 Green and black go to the oil pressure and oil level senders. 1 Black and red goes to the coil and I'm not sure about the black and blue/purple.) I have attached a picture of the harness below.
I would enjoy any guidance on where to plug these wires. Car won't start and it keeps blowing fuses which I assume is either a problem with these wires or the ignition system/distributor needs an overhaul. Attached thumbnail(s)

If the wiring follows the same convention as the four-cylinder cars, the black/purple is the tach signal wire. It would likely have gone from the coil (-) terminal through the relay board to the tach.
