I have been rebuilding this 1990 Corvette for almost a year now, and have discovered there is a broken wire behind the distributor. I have looked through my 1990 Corvette service manual and the 1988 electrical supplement and have yet to find where this could have broken from. I have my finger on the wire, which appears to be orange/tan in color right after a brown connector. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!
Tach filter is very likely and the wire is really 'WHITE' If one end goes to the distributor from the connector that would be it and it's 'torn' from the filter attached behind left cylinder head. Does Tach work? What's going on with the 'butt connector'?
I haven't been able to start it yet, as the person helping me rebuild it had to go back to work for a few weeks. So I do not know if the tach works right now, but both of the wires that go to the distributor appear to be intact. This wire appears to come off the same harness that goes down the drivers' side of the engine toward the injectors. The wire that you have to unplug to time it is higher up, close to the ecm, this one is lower, where the bell housing and the back of the block meet. Is the tach filter outside of the distributor?

Tach filter should be behind left cylinder head on a bracket! Tach filter is separate at the HEI and likely tagged TACH.
