Default 74 4speed manual wiring

Getting my project car to the stage where I'm buttoning up the wiring. On the 4 speed there's 1 2 wire connector and a spade terminal. At first I thought the 2 wire connector would be the neutral safety but from diagrams and searching around I see it must be the reverse lights switch. I'm not finding what the other thing is. It screws in under the front most shift rod on the bottom of the trans and looks like a temp sender with a single spade terminal sticking out the bottom. Figure someone must know what it is.

Hi LA,
The one in this location?
On a 71 it's a post connector and is part of the CEC system. In signals when the transmission is in 3rd and 4th gear.
Regards,
Alan
