There are no wires coming off the carburetor. Remove the air cleaner and take a photo of where the wire is really coming from. The connector looks like the connector for the water temperature sending unit. Is that a green wire with a black stripe..? Just look at the wiring diagram in your Shop Manual.

It would help to know what year car you have. Also, as Lars said, trace it back to see where it goes. Jerry

1980 or 1981? Choke coil?

It would be easier to remove the air cleaner assembly and take better photos than to speculate...
