It's been 8 years since I've seen a harness with all the connections for a stock car, but that looks like the single wire connector for the o2 sensor.

Is that the bullet connector for the gauge cluster coolant sensor?

Sounds like the condensor in the oil pressure gauge circuit.

Better pictures
i removed the uim to get better pictures while i clean the engine down. Any ideas what the wires are for



So the connector in the first pic was connect to that silver thing by the oil fill tube, and the black wire from the enging harness was cut from the connector.

Any clues or explanation of what purpose that serves would be appreciated
