Do you have the fuel pump relay in that area??????
There is another plug that goes into the distributor on the underside????
IF either of these were not plugged in, I would not think the car would run.

There should be 2, one for fp, and one for od. Take a pic a little farther back so we can see what else is in there. I'll check mine to be sure.
There is a wiper connection in that area too
If you do need any help, I'm a half hour away. h

As you have seen, the OD relay and the FP relay are the same part. Definitely get those bare wires cleaned up and covered
GM used a black tar type of sealer on these connectors and over the years the stuff dried out and it cracks. The wire covers get hard and they start to break leaving bare wire. I think that replacement connectors and terminal ends are available so it might be a good idea to start replacing them.I would suggest that you get the Factory Service Manual books to help with identifying the electrical stuff. One of these books has all of the wiring diagrams by component showing what is controlled and where the harnesses are located on the car. There's also a section with pictures of each wire connector and what it's used for. There is a specific troubleshooting section for all the electrical components. It will go a long way to help with identification and how to fix stuff.

If I may, I would like to clear up any confusion your description might spur...the relay pictured above is the FUEL PUMP relay only, and has nothing to do with the OVERDRIVE relay. They are two separate units, and the OD relay is found on manual transmission cars only, and are not found on automatic transmissions cars.

You can interchange the relays in their respective positions for testing purposes
