Default C3 wire identification on my 1975 Corvette Stingray




I recently installed a new windshield washer pump on my 1975 Corvette Stingray Convertible. After moving my windshield washer reservoir bottle I apparently pulled a wire loose and now I can't find where the wire is supposed to go. The wire has about a 6 - 8 inch reach from the inner fender. The wire end has a rubber connector very similar to a spark plug wire connector that fits ONTO the spark plug. It has a metal hollow plug in the center of the rubber connector that obviously connects to whatever ! I 'THINK' this wire provides power to the washer pump. I have attached two photos to hopefully help identify this particular wire and to where it attaches to ????
I will certainly appreciate any and all responses I may receive. Thanks

Brake distribution block? Below master cylinder on the frame rail. Single pin switch accepts plug like you pictured.

I've checked and double checked and I just can't find the brake distribution block. Is it on top of the frame rail or is it on one of the frame sides ? How big is this brake distribution block ? I'm sorry to keep bugging you but I've been searching over two weeks now.
Thanks

Hi db,
If you follow the 2 steel lines that come out of the side of the master cylinder they will lead you right to the distribution block and you'll see where the wire gets connected…. if that's what's in your photo.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Here's a photo from my 71 showing the connection on the distribution block. You can see the 2 brake lines with spiral shielding running from the master cylinder to it.
Yours might be in a different location but the 2 lines will lead you to it.

Brass block on the lower right of the photo.
As Alan wrote, follow the master cylinder brake lines down to the valve. Single pin on top is the switch.
