Default engine wire

Attached are a couple of photos of a wire in my engine compartment. I thought it might go to my old distributor , but I am not sure. I am changing engines . putting in a 2017 LT1 , and am hooking up original wires to the engine before installing the new harness, but this one has me stumped.

Thanks to everyone in advance. The C3 forum really is a blessing to go to..

Ed
