What are these wires?

On top of the engine, behind the alternator. Both cut off, a green wire and a blue with white stripe. I assume oil pressure and temp.
On my 67 Vista Cruiser. Still don't have that service manual.

Blue with white stripe - oil pressure. Green - temp. Turn the key on, touch ea to ground and the corresponding dash lamp should light.

Thanks, I thought so but wasn't sure. I previously asked the question about the oil pressure switch and got the answer "blue" there was no mention of the white stripe. Just wanted to make sure. Wiring up my electric choke now, just want to do it correctly like Joe spells out in his excellent post.

The service manual just shows it as blue.
