The wiring shouldn't be too hard, you should only need a positive that is a live wire (check using a test light with ignition off) and a negative.
I have never done it with an ea but it's pretty basic.
Cheers.

Not knowing if the clock is std Ford or aftermarket, I'm guessing your 4 wires are:
1. Battery Power (always on)
2. Ign Power
3. Lighting Power
4. Earth
Earth is usually black, so it shouldn't be difficult to figure out what's what with the other 3.

Above is correct. If you do not have the plug, all these can be picked up at your stereo head unit loom!

Assuming you've bought an EA-D clock (NOT trip computer), all you need to do is remove the blank plastic panel, plug in the clock (there should be a plug + loom behind this panel), and then slot the clock into the hole where the panel used to be.
