Looks like a splice job to me. If it is, it'll be hard to tell where it goes or what it's function is.

You engine VIN is "G"?

If so, it's Fusible Link "F" and its connector plugs into the coolant fan relay.

87 LG4 should be H in eighth digit and should have the fan relay on the firewall with that, or a similar, connector. Was a later relay installed, wired and that connector left hanging?

A similar relay and connector was also used for the fuel pump on some. Does the control lead run thru the oil pressure switch (tee'd off the oil pressure sender rear of the intake manifold)?
