I see parts store. There have books. They just show how to rebuilt engine etc. But I think you not know what I mean exactly about wires. Im trying to figure it out to explain a little clear. Like we already pull engine out and been sit pretty long time. I want to keep in my mind to remember when engine built done and put in and need to know where wires need to be hook up to connect. So it would have those book in parts store?

chilton or haynes both make repair manuals Like what your looking for. They should both be avalible from a local auto parts store. They may have to order it if they don't stock your specific model in stock.
You can also find them online at places like Ebay and Amazon

wire diagrams are in the back of those books. So those are the books you need. they don't just tell you how to do an engine.

Also. there is only 1 place to plug those wires in to. You also could have labeled the wires as you unplugged them. But regardless, there is only 1 place to plug each wire.
