Question almost there - just a few loose ends

I'm just about ready to start her up!!!!

There's just a couple of things I can't figure and I'm hoping somebody can help me out.

First is the throttle cable. It seems to be at a funny angle and looks like it wants to jump out of the rail. Is that normal?

Second is this connector that looks like it wants to plug into something (not the ground connector, the two slot one), but I can't find a matching end for it. It's the one with the oil filter in the pic.

Lastly is this single yellow lead that's coming off the power steering pump that I just can't find the mate for. If someone would be kind enough to snap a shot of where this things mate comes out of the wiring harness, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks!

your throttle cable bracket is bent...

two slot connector is the air intake temp sensor, the sensor lives in the intake manifold, its on the rearish corner.

the PS one, i'm not sure. that wire comes from the pump? if yes there should be the mate for that on the chassis, below the fuse box

Yup, figured out that the throttle cable bracket was indeed bent. Looked pretty close to another one I had, but on closer inspection it was a little bent.

Discovered, thanks to a buddy that came over, that the air intake sensor wasn't even installed, so that's why I couldn't figure out where it went. Got that sorted, mostly.

That wire does come from the PS pump, but I still cant seem to find it. There's a matching set of connectors from the O2 sensor, so at least I know now what it's supposed to look like, but neither of us can seem to find it. It has to be there somewhere as this is the original PS pump and original wiring harness. I dunno. I'm still hoping for a photo.

Found the PS connector. It was indeed almost under the fuse box. It was wrapped tight against the harness and kinda covered with some wrapping. Thanks j9fd3s for the help!!!!

When it fails to stay running, go back and hook up the ground wire thats on the same strand as the air temp sensor.
