Tachometer+Wires disconnected

[starquest87]

Needing some help. Just purchased my car and the previous owner said just before I showed to buy it he was installing the battery and accidentally dropped it in the battery spot from 1/2 ft. high. Since then the tachometer doesnt work and right turn signal light in the cluster wont turn off. I can clearly see a few wires that are not connected. I've searched the net trying to find pics of the ignition coil hookup and starter wires (essentially whole right side) since those are the areas I see wires unhooked, (3 total). Not saying this was all from the battery drop just trying to fix issues I see. Please help with a few pics.

In my 88. There's a tiny gold box behind/near the coil that has a single wire that goes to ignition coil. That's the tach/rpm wire.....

 

That's all I can help with.

In my 87 it's a tiny black box by the coil. That is one of the wires that has come loose. I just can't find where it went. It's a black wire.

For 1988, the gold box goes to neg side of coil. I can't say for sure about black box on 87s

It has two wires. One black one blue. Blue is connected to the coil. And black is just free floating as of now.
