Looks like the idle stop solenoid wire. Doesn't look like your carb has it.

Re: found strange wire, where does it go?

If your car originally came with A/C you should have that solenoid mounted on the front/driver's side of the carb. It opens the throttle slightly to raise the idle speed when the A/C is on. Just 2 screws to remove it, so it's entirely possible it got removed by a previous owner or the carb was replaced with a rebuilt unit at some point in the car's life (rebuild carbs don't come with that solenoid- you're supposed to carry it over from the old carb before you install it).
