Default 4+3 witing help

its supposed to say wiring help... but i didnt spell check

ive got an 86 manual, l98. So ive got a wire in my engine bay that i dont know where it goes.. i took a look at a guys 86 auto vette and he doesnt have the wire. so im thinking its gotta be trans related.. anyone with a 4+3 know where it goes or have a trans wiring diagram?

Its a single green wire.. that comes out of the harness at the top of the trans/back of engine about 3 inches then a connector, and the other end of the connector its plugged into an all black wire.. the black wire is about 6 inches long and freyed on the end..attached to nothing... im kinda thinking that wire is a ground.. but dont wanna just ground it and fry something.

my OD isnt working and im guess this has something to do with it.

I'm not familiar with the L88/4+3 powertrain but I do know that pictures will certainly help get an answer to your question.

Your description is pretty thorough, but on technical questions like this, a picture is worth 83 billion words.

Good luck
