WOW Im lost! On this k code Convertible!
where do i look for the hatchet wieght?

is it bolted to the balancer?
maybe we dont have a k code crank?
Here's an article on building the 289 High Performance:

Even if you're not doing the upgrades (I've never seen the need for the expensive machining for the 1-pc seal, and their choice of carb spacer gaskets was poor) it's a very good, well illustrated piece.
One thing they don't mention is the 289 (and 302) exhaust ports suck. Big time. Here's an article on fixing that problem. Inexpensive, and well worth a weekend in the garage.
289/302 Cylinder Head Port Matching
1. The flasher can up above the driver seat is for turn signals.

2. The flasher can near the heater is for 4 way flashers? (This car doesn’t have any that I’m aware of)

3. You said yes to the connector...it does connect to the heater even though I don’t have any place to connect it to. Can I cut a hole and install the resistor? Is that where this connector goes to? I have a new heater resistor and the tabs are not the same as that connector.

4. One of those 3 way connectors is for accessory? So this means un switched 12 volts supply right? Or does it turn off with ignition? Would it be ok to connect fog lights to this? It does come with a 30 amp breaker so I’m concerned about to much current for that circuit. The stupid instruction simply say to find a 12 unswitched power supply…..
That is definitely NOT where you connect the fogs. The foglight connection was taped to the harness near the wiper motor. It's a heavy gray wire with a black stripe, unique that it ends with an eye terminal, not a plug. If your harness lacks this, that's OK, the fog light wiring harness comes with this pigtail. Ford spliced the gray wire to the heavy power feed in the main harness. The kit wire connects to it with a Scotchlock, supplied with the kit. That's essentially what Ford did, although their connector was moulded. There is an automatic circuit breaker in the kit, Ford screwed (or clipped, the guys on the line figured out the clip was quicker than drilling a hole) to the right side of the pedal support.

You should get the under-dash harness if you are adding fog lights. The correct harness is plug-in, and as per OEM has a jumper for the taillights, which come on when to turn on the fog lights.

Now I’m on to the rally Pac gauges….as you can see he got to those wires as well…….
I would like to repair these to original. With original type connectors.

You'll also need the under-dash harness. Scavengers leave this in the junkyard, later they can't connect to the car and have to start cutting.

Does anybody know which wires go to where?

Well, at least some of it is a K code. The heads are, although the polylocks aren't stock.
It is impossible to install the double-roller chain on the K code. Either your bottom end isn't K code, or somebody threw away the hatchet weight, causing an imbalance.
Your harmonic balancer isn't original, it's a C8ZE service replacement. Nice part, though. An excellent OEM repro of the correct part is available.
I'm still wondering about that timing chain. If your engine was after Change Level 7, the iron pump and later cover are fine, but the missing hatchet weight bothers me. No K code engine was ever built without it.

I believe i found it!
A pink wire that is completely covered in a black cloth type sheath.There is no wire connected to the negative side of the coil so the factory Rally Tach must get it's signal somewhere else.
