I'm not positive, but I believe that might go to the coolant temp sensor on the driver's side upper corner of the rear iron.

Looks to me like you need a new engine wiring harness pretty badly.

Goodfella is right, it goes to the water temp sensor for the dash gauge. It is located right under the oil pressure sender unit, close to the spark plugs.

I found it!!

Yes you are right! I found the sensor that is below the oil filter, in between spark plug and oil pressure sensor (I think). Thank you very much for your help, can't wait to get this car running again.

you might want to consider a new or good condition wiring harness here in the future because that thing is gonna start to give you hell very shortly.
