Helping a friend with his M50 swap and most everything has gone smoothly. My question revolves around the two wires that come off the wire leading to the diagnostic port. The shorter appears to be a ground wire that goes to body, does the longer one go to battery power?

Anytime. For what it's worth, I have been swapping these cars for a long time on a professional level and to this day, peel the shrink wrap. You never know what was done 10,15, or 30yrs ago, so it's best to be sure. Nothing worse than frying an engine or body harness with a simple mix up. :/

Guilty as charged! Only takes one "oh sh1t" to ruin 100 "atta boy" :(
