looks almost like the tranny vacuum control hardline if you have an auto trans but mine comes up the the passenger side of the motor on my '78. IF that's what it is it would connect to a port in the intake manifold behind the carb in front of the distributor

well i was trying to get the arrow pointing to the electrical connector. The wires on the engine compartment side start at the bulkhead connector and are hanging down. The wires are maybe 10-12 inches long. Whatever it was, it must have been mounted close by.
The tubing with the yellow tape on the end goes to the evaporative cannister. I think the tube you refer to is also on the passenger side on the 74 as well. The black cable hanging down is speedo.

you can't see in the photo, but there are two wires that connect to the alarm switch mounted on the driver fender. This connector doesn't go there, but i think that it may have been part of the alarm system somehow. thanks. . .

That conector looks like the one that fits the switch on the headlights and one was used on the alarm also. If the lock and switch was tampered with the alarm went off. The socket should have the plugs like this - l I think if this is the plug.

do you know what it connects to? my car must be missing something? the alarm cylinder lock has two wires with ring terminal connections; those wires are still okay. . .

there are 2 wires that go to the alarm switch, and that connector goes to an anti tampering switch that goes on the alarm swirch cylinderhttp://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1171

Interesting posts. I have a complete 74 forward harness (74 SBC auto) laying on my back porch. I just examined it an found only one connector on that part of the harness. It is a single wire connector (brown wire). According to the Corvette Black book, all 74's should have been alarm equipped - it isn't listed as an option.
