Oil furnace help please.
Ok so I bought a oil oil furnace got it home and hooked it up. I installed a plug so I could just plug it in the wall. As soon as I plug it in the wall with the t-stat off the pump kicks on. I let it run for ten min but the blower will not turn on. If I switch the t-stat to off it continues to run anyway. I was a little unsure of where to put my wires so I assume that this is my problem
Here is a pic of the wires where should I hook my white and black wire

Thanks in advance for your help

That is one OLD burner. To my knowledge, nobody has made a burner with a pump on the right side in close to 50 years.
Without a wiring diagram or knowing where all those wires go, I can't begin to tell you how to wire it. I do know that all of those connections should be inside a box.
That oil line to the pump looks like aluminum with a compression fitting. Oil fuel lines should be copper with flare fittings. The vibration from the burner will soon crack the aluminum.

Yes she's old lol. The fuel line is steel. The previous owner used it with out an issue. The wires all go in a box but I pulled them out. I've looked for a wire schematic but can't seem to find one. The make is a duo-dm-matic. It was made in Waterford Ontario.

If you can find an old timer service guy in your area, I suggest you get him to look at it. I can't remember who bought Duo-Therm but it's extremely doubtful you are going to find a wiring diagram. Someone is going to have to trace the wires thru the various controls to figure out how it is supposed to be wired.

Your power wire should go to a single wire..... usually black.
Were there any single wires not connected ?
There will probably be several whites together for neutral. You should be able to follow the blower wiring to there. There would be a neutral on the blower motor.

Not to get way off topic but that's a really old unit. Is this for your home? Has someone checked to make sure the heat exchanger is ok?
