Yes, I think it is actually supposed to be pink. Its the big fat one. the green wire is the one that handles the high idle, and cold advance.

Ok, that sounds a little shorter than mine, but I think it also depends on ambient temperature.

It will be easier to connect the alligator clip to the battery. Hook it on the positive terminal of the front battery. This will supply you with 12v.

Ok, just for clarification the top valve is the bleeder valve, its not a drain
