When I swapped the 2.8L in my Blazer for a 5.7L I was surprised at the
number of wires that had the same circuit number and color, considering
it's a totally different engine and was 5 years newer.  The few wires
that are also on my '78 Monte Carlo also tend to match color in the same
places.  I wouldn't rely on it when swapping engines or the like, but if
there is a mismatch go ahead and double check the connection to make
sure it's right.
