Wiring diagrams: Seymour Duncan's site.

Parts: Musician's Friend probably has the best prices on genuine Fender parts. Allparts sells good parts & CTS pots (a bit less expensive w/out the Fender packaging). Warmoth has the best price on Kluson-style tuners (I don't like their CTS pots, though, as they are open-backed, knurled shaft pots). Black Rose Customs has the best prices on Seymour Duncan pups...

If you find a reputable dealer of AllParts stuff around you, you get AT LEAST 20% off whatever the price on the website is. At my store, I sell everything 25% off AllParts list. Little secret to everybody... AllParts dealer cost is 50% off list. However, they ship COD on most orders to stores... So I personally only got less than 30% off on stuff I've ordered individually with my employee discount. So, if you're gonna do a complete overhaul of your Tele, find out what you want from AllParts and order everything all at once, cuz shipping will cost less and you can wheel and deal a bit. :) It's a lesson I learned the hard way...
