RE: [DML] Unidentified Connectors in engine bay

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

Thanks for the detailed pictures; makes diagnostics easy.

The "Unknown Connector" is for the auto trans kick-down switch which is not
used on manual transmission cars.

The "Ungrounded" is not original and was probably added by a previous owner
for an accessory. It appears to have no function.

I've created an album for #10544 and put in a few pics.  (Anyone know why it
says I've used 30 M of space when I've only 2 M of photos in
there?)

Please take a look at the picture called Unknown Connector.  Its 2 wires
(one is black with a slate stripe) near the Idle Microswitch and WOT switch.
The go into a black connector but theres nothing there to connect to.

Another pic is called Ungrounded.  Its a ground wire on the coil resistor
plate that isn't long enough to connect to anythere.  Where should it go so
I can splice a fix in to it.

Any advice would be nice.  Finally I posted pics of my fixed cross-over pipr
with a modern flex portion.  The flex piece cost about
$15 from Napa and the labor wasn't bad either.  Much improved over my
original that cracked and was leaking, plus a LOT cheaper thana  new pipe.
