Mystery wire, no idea what it is

Hey guys, I've been putting my engine back together for the last 2 days, and I finally got all the vacuum lines sorted. I was connecting the heater lines when I noticed this:



I have no idea where it came from. I didn't see it when I put the harness back in. It is all black with no stripes or markings. I know you can barely see it but it comes from right behind the oil filler neck. I guess I broke whatever it was attached to off when putting the motor back in. Anyone know what this wire goes to?

Black wire?..TRY to find the Other Part to it..I am Guessing that it Will be ON the slave cylinder Bolt,on the transmission..And IF SO,it is a Capacitor for the Oil pressure(or TEMP..can't recall,I'm tired!) Sender,and If that wire is not on,.then your Oil gauge will be pegged at Max...I hope I'm correct..

I have the oil sender hooked up already. The wire looks like it was snapped off, theres no connector or anything on it, just a bare wire. Like I said, if it was attached to something, I can't find it now.

*edit*

I figured it out. There is that black wire and another green wire that go into a white connector. The black wire just snapped off it somehow.



It goes to a small 2 pin connector. Good thing I noticed the broken wire because I forgot all about that sensor (or whatever it is)
