Looks to me like the constant power fuse for the ecm. There should be a female connector on the tpi battery cable for that to plug into.

You're right, its the main power connector and yes TPI cables have it while V6 and TBI cars dont

You can cut the connector off and hook both wires to your power junction block for the harness to work, or get 90-92 TPI cables
