Need wiring help for old humbucker

[Bigguy1305]

I was able to get two old sd humbucker one with 3 wires and the other w/2.
The neck had one braided and one white wire. The bridge one braided, whte and 1 red. I want to put them in a push/push pot that I was able to get and I want them in series/parallel mod. I'm confiused because I can't seem to get any wiring diagrams for this type of mod. Only for 4 wire not 2 or 3. Does anybody know how to put this together.

It needs to be 4-conductor for parallel/series wiring. 3 or 2 won't work. BUT...the pickup can be converted to a 4-conductor.

You have to open it up and trace the wires back to the coil bobbins. The red wire will probably go to the bridging connection between the two coils. It's not easy if you haven't done it before, the connections to the bobbins are very fragile and easily damaged.
