Default 69 L46 - Where does this wire go?

1969 L46 with PW, PS, PB and AC. Found this wire in my parts bin, where does it go?
Thanks,
Mike - It's always better with Orange!

That's a tough one.
If you have a Doc Rebuild wiring diagram, the connector may show there. Or, look over the car closely to see if something looks missing. Looks like it might be a ground wire for a component.
Are you positive that it's from a Corvette?

I also have a 69 L46 but with only PW and PS . I just replaced the engine and front wire harnesses and didn`t have a wire like that .

Ok AC ground clutch sounds right. Below is a pic of the green wire that was going to be a future post that had no home (I'll have to figure out how to get that wire secured into the connector). And I am assuming the connector plugs into the side of the AC compressor. Where does the ground connector (thing with the metal ring) get anchored to?
Thanks,

I know the green wire doesn't go thru the hole, it was just the easiest way to keep it in the photo.

You could use the compressor to bracket bolt for the ground .
