Depending on which carb (regular or TKS) then the alarm is connected to the purple wire coming from the key switch. When key is ON it powers one side of the alarm.
The other side of the alarm is attached to a Tan/Blue wire which is connected to the temp switch on the thermostat housing, the oil pressure switch by the oil filter and the outdrive gear lube bottle. If anyone of the 3 activates, they will close their switch contacts and apply a ground which turns on the alarm
The pic is for 2 and 4 bbl carb V6 with TBV ignitioon. In block "C" items 1, 2 and 3 are the 3 switch previously mentioned
