1984 tbird fuel pump plug question

I pulled the tank and wiring from a 1984 Tbird (v6).  I am wanting to use just the intank low pressure fuel pump, cause I am using carb on motor not efi.  I have no computer or anything, so I am going to use a switch and relay for fuel pump, anyone know which wires I can hook up for that with this plug?

Pink is the pump hot wire.  Black with light green dots is pump ground
Yellow is fuel gauge. Black is fuel gauge ground.

I am at the plug in the passenger side kick panel now, there is three wire on the plug that goes back to the fuel pump relay and pumps, i do not have a computer in the car any more, I want to run a switch for my fuel pump, can anyone tell me what the three wire are for?  I am sure one is to get 12v back to the relay, but the two smaller wire I am not sure of.

Just chassis ground the fuel pump ground wire at the plug. Mount the fuel pump relay (something like a Bosch 30A relay) between the rear bumper and the fuel tank. Ground the relay and the fuel pump to the chassis at the same point. Run a fused (20 amp would be just a guess) 10 or 12 gauge battery hot to the relay, same gauge wire from the relay to the fuel pump 12V+, and then a 12V+ trigger wire from a toggle switch or a source that is hot during crank and run off the ignition switch.

The relay 12V+ trigger wire will only pull about 300 milliamp so it's not a huge draw. I can knock out a wiring diagram and send it to you if that would help.

Did the wiring diagrams I sent you not help with the wiring on the car?

yes the wiring on the car help, I am going to keep the factory relay and interia switch in place, from what i look at on the diagram, i can put a fused 12v hot to the yellow wire, and 12v key to the other wire on plug (forgot color) and should work.  i will let you know how it turns out Monday.

If you have found the correct  connector for the fuel pump it will have:
A yellow wire. Fuel pump power.
A red wire. Fuel pump relay power.
A tan/green dot wire. Ground for the relay.
