what is this wire?
Hey Gang,
I am installing a new starter on my '87TII and noticed a wire hanging. The end of it is dangling right behind (or in front if you're referencing the car) of the starter solenoid. It is about 6in long with a white connector going into the harness. the dangling end has a lug for a 10mm bolt (like the solenoid) and a square block on the wire end of the lug.
anybody know where this goes?

ROTARD FOR LIFE!!!
so would this cause false readings? I just noticed that wire too(actualy you guys beat me to asking about it... so this saves me time ) Before I got mine, I was told the clutch slave and master were replaced and that the sender went bad was replaced, could my gauge be fubar? Sometimes it reads lower and then sometimes higher than normal...
Would it be ok to find another spot to ground it at?
thanks
tim

I'll hook it back up and see what I can find.

Do you seriously think grounding a bare wire is a good idea? This is not a ground wire! If you're lucky you'll pop a fuse but I'm pretty sure you'll fry the oil pressure gauge first.
