Going though all of the wiring before I put everything back and I have a mystery wire that don't show up on any of my wiring diagrams.
I was pretty good about labeling everything but both ends of this wire are 2 that I didn't label or the label fell off. It looks like some sort of resistor or filter. I have an electric tach, but the end in Pic 1 can't reach the tach. It looks like if would plug into the speedometer or light switch, but I don't have any unaccounted for lugs in that area. The other end is near where the center console and gauge cluster meet (driver's side). It has a double connector but only one wire. There are no tan 12 gauge wires on my wiring diagram. Maybe it's part of my flux capacitor.

Reason: Figured out one of my questions
Is that the wire that goes to the ignition interference capacitor on the steering column? I thought might was heavy guage brown but with only on terminal on the connector.

It could be. Even though the car is a '68 it had a '69+ steering column in it which I am replacing and putting the ignition back in the dash. It definitely looks like a capacitor which I was thinking it was some sort of noise reducing filter. The other end would reach the radio that was in the car when I bought it. My replacement radio has a filter built in. I'll look at the old steering column this evening and see if I can find a place for it.
I know this is an old thread but I found a brown wire under my dash similar to this with a connector but the wire coming out of the connector is cut off. Where does the other end of the brown wire go if there was a capacitor on the broken end? Would like to trace it and make sure that's this wire. Thank you, Rob
