According to my factory manual, these wires should be for the timing retardation? But they are unhooked. Which goes to which?

The one at lower left is a test connector. The ones at upper-center are for various uninstalled features like headlight washers and foglights. The barely visible wire at lower-right - for an '81-up NA would be for disabling EIS (electronic idle stabilization), for an '81-up 931 it's for timing retard.

so the lower right one would have no effect on an '80 931? I'm not sure entirely where your describing though. I don;t suppose you could mark on the picture the barely visible wire?

My car doesn't have fog lights, but it has the fog light switch in the center console?

All that's visible there is part of the wire. An '81-up would have a single wire connector on that wire laying on top of the wheel well that can be disconnected. For an '80, there's probably no connector.
No need for another label - just look at the extreme bottom-right corner.

If you have it, the factory foglight switch would be mounted on the vertical surface within a few inches of the cig lighter.

gotcha now i see where your pointing. I have a 3 position switch to the left of the cig lighter that looks like it would be a fog light switch.



you can barely see it in this pic there is a little bit tht is not covered up by the wheel.
