Welcome.

Leave the pots alone as the JB was designed around 250Ks and the VNs will sound like fecal matter with any higher resistance pot. No resistors are required and the OEM cap is fine.

Follow the Strat wiring diagram of your choice.

With the VNs, the green and black wires are ground (-). The remaining bright color wire from each pickup is your hot (+).

With the JB, solder the red and white wires together and insulate them; the bare is your ground. The only variable here is: The green wire should be your hot wire and the black should be your ground. Upon wiring everything up, if you find the JB out of phase with the VN, simply reverse the JB's green and black wires.

You're welcome. :D

If you are using a full sized JB humbucker, I'd suggest using a 500K pot on the 2nd tone which is only for the JB humbucker. For the two single coils, the norm is 250k tone pot for the neck and middle. Also use a .022uf cap on the JB and a .047uf cap (or whatever Fender suggests/provides) on the single coils.
