where does this wire go?

recently i blew a fuel pump fuse that kept blowing. i discovered this wire hanging and hitting the side of the carburetor. i can't find where it connects to or if its even suppose to be in the car since the first owners did some of his own wiring.

I don't believe that wire should be there. try cutting the connecter off and taping the end of the wire off. i can't recall off hand where the pump circuit runs to/from but its possible that the wire is causind a gremlin some where. drive without the wire hanging there and see what happens. it probably shouldn't be left to hang anyway. good luck

Looks like he's installed a battery feed wire to some equipment since removed. Disconnect it/take it out if you can.
