Engine bay wires ID

[Stevehose]

I am redoing my engine wiring harnesses, these 4 wires come out into the engine bay through a hole in the firewall to the right of the steering column. Are these the Zenith choke wires and speed sensor wires? They are green/white, violet/black, brown, and blue/black. Can't find anything definitive on the wiring diagram. I am thinking I don't need these given that I have neither emissions crap or Zeniths any more. I had 2 of them tied off before so I want to confirm the other 2 before hiding these.

No direct answer but everyone is offline today. Lot’s of historical chatter on the green/white wires.

2800cs zenith wiring

The carbs each have...

Cut the zip tie and stretch out the wires

USA carb cars had a smog device at the middle of the firewall

Not sure about your wires, but the specific, small wiring harness on my Zeniths also used white green cables with black plastic shoes, so that color combo of wires could well be linked to carbs.

I pulled these unused wires (I agree they’re likely for the carbs) back through the firewall to their source-I was going to zip tie them out of the way under the dash when I noticed that they unplug conveniently from under the steering column so out they came and into the “I’ll keep them in case I need them again box” which never happens.

All the green and white wires on my car were for the Zenith chokes.
