Im confused with a couple of these solenoid/voltage regulator wires and was hoping someone here could assist.

There is:

a red/blue wire

a red/green wire

a brown wire

a large black wire

a black wire that pops out of the harness about 6 inches before the rest.

I believe:

brown goes to I terminal

red/blue goes to S terminal

red/green goes to voltage regulator

It appears to me someone coated everything with black paint so im not sure if the smaller black wire is actually black. I got the car as a roller and put a 302/c4 in it if that matters, everything was taken out and I'm having a bit of a struggle getting it all plugged in.
