Trying to figure out where on the car you took this photo. Looks like the plug to my alarm switch.

Photo taken on a bench ,
this was mounted to the left of the radiator high on the panel behind the headlight structure.
The plug looks like a headlight connection but two of the wires from this,went to the positive side of the coil the other goes through the fiirewall behind the LHS head and to the ignition switch.

Thanks to Wilwood for the image here. This shows where it was mounted , interested that it still connected and apparently working after all these years.
