'C' - Crankcase breather - run a 1/2" ID hose to a catch can high on your firewall. 1/2" ID slows the velocity of any mist and lets it condense and run back 'D' - Mazda Oil temp /Pres. Sensor 'E' - Hot water to water heater 'F' - Not on my engine - I'm guessing Bruce added it as an oil return. Take your oil pan off and look up there - if 'F' drains into the pan then use if for an oil return. 'G' - Water jacket drain plug 'H' - no clue - don't have that one on my engine. 'K' - Oil level sensor (goes to ground when oil is low) You've got the "oil out" and "oil in" correctly labeled (at least that's how I've got them hooked up!!).
