Only two plugs go through the firewall into the cabin. The blue and white ones are correct and should be inside the car. Do you have a picture of the third plug?

Also not sure I routed the wire bus that has the oil pan sensor, the crank sensor, and the start solenoid valve right ...its real tight and touches the header...

I ran mine down the frame and routed under the exhaust to avoid being too close. I had to mess with the wiring a bit to get enough slack to do so but there should be plenty for you. I would avoid having the wires that close to exhaust.

Okay since it is a 98 you will have three connectors running into the cabin. The connector in question is the In-Line Connector C210 (8 cavities, White) instrument panel to engine harness, under the right side of the instrument panel, behind the knee bolster

Check the harness in the car behind the knee bolster and it should be there. If it is not trace from under the dash as the plug goes to the instrument panel.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Both of you.....

One more question ( yea right)..I got the factory preformed power wires..the lead down to the starter has the main power wire...and it also has the main battery ground...when I got under there I assumed the ground would just go to a starter mounting bolt or something else I would see but that's not the case I can't see a lug where it goes....

Wow what a learning curve...

The ground will not run to the starter. I mounted my ground to the block using a bolt. There are a few different threaded holes you can use. Also throwing the ground on one of the 4 motor mount bolts against the block will work.

I can't find a threaded hole near ( 2004 6.0l) but i also had thought about a motor mount bolt...

I pulled that starter lead back and and tried to run down the frame not long enough... I pulled em all back and run under the evap lines and got just enough to plug oil level sensor in the rest was fine...

Thanks...

Could someone take a photo where they main power lines run over to the distribution block?

I've got a 6.0l as well and used a motor mount bolt location. Maybe this photo of mine will help.
