wiring issues

Does anyone know where this wire connector goes? Its not for MAT sensor, distributor, or egr solinoid. It has a black wire and a pink with black stripe wire. I have tried on the Tech/General Engine and TPI board and I haven't found the correct location yet. Hopefully you guys can help me. BTW the wire is just on the driver side of distributor, but i suppose i could get it on the pass but i think it goes on the driver side.
Thanks
JP

87

though your car doesnt have a electronic speedo, it does use a VSS, however it's cable driven and is on the back of your spedometer, camaros and firebird share the same wiring harnesses, therefore perhaps what you have found is the VSS wires that would go to a firebirds electronic speed sensor on the transmission.

Probably not, you'll find lots of plugs tucked away that don't go to anything, especially under the dash.
