The pinouts change from year to year so you'll have to check them out all by yourself. That way you gain also knowledge how the thing works... It's not all "plug'n'play".

Anyways, here's the pinout table from my swap; http://users.tkk.fi/~jhaukile/ETC/C101_X20.pdf

Black in the C101 round connector is ALWAYS tacho.

Black yellow is always starter

Green is always 12v swithed

Blue is always alternator

When you have done as many engine swaps as me you´ll remember the colors automatically ;)

Yes, and puprle-red is petrol pump etc etc.. basic stuff ;)

The main colours are always the same but the pinouts change from year to year. Not necessarily the "main function" pins but it's not worth risking as checking the pins out is a 5min job.
