Default 56 ford engine

On the engine wiring harness of a 56 ford car 292/312. The wiring harness runs along top of the firewall. Behind the head on the passangers side 2 wires come out one is red and the other is brown. I am not sure what they go to. They are right behind the dist. and coil so Im sure ones coming from the ing. Going to the coil. Maybe the brown one. But I am not sure,what the red or brown one goes to. They are not the temp sensor,the temp wires come out behing the other head. On the drivers side and hookup to the temp sensor on the drivers head.The car use to have a voltage reducer on it. at the coil. But dont think I need it any longer because Im running a 12 volt coil and later model 12 volt distributor.
Second thing I replace the temp sensor in the head with a mechanical sensor and gauge. But I like to hookup the orginal elec. light temp gauge also.Is there another place in the engine that I can screw it in the block ?
Thanks
