Take the old sensor wires and splice them into the new plug end and plug it in.
Color doesn't matter, it can be wired either way.

This is assuming you have a factory th400 speed sensor.

It would be just great if people selling parts for the swap would provide the part number for the plug. I don't have it.

The speedo sensor has two wires, old and new.
The rest go to the big plug, you can tie them up on top of the transmission, cut them off, or trace them back to the ecm and un-pin them. The rear O2 sensor wires are also in this bundle.
