Not sure what year car you have but it just might be the female end of the hood alarm switch.

In 1969 the anti-theft alarm system (UA6) was an option, not standard equipment. Not sure but that plug end might be in all the wiring harnesses with or without the alarm option, if indeed that's its purpose on your '69. Just a thought!
