Can anyone identify this connector under the hood?


I had a 350 installed in my 84 Z28. Old school, carbureted, as few electronics as possible. Just noticed this connector yesterday and wondering if I need to find its mate, but I didn't see anything obvious that it attaches to.

Does it go all the way along the driver-side subframe and this through the firewall? Given it's location it may be cruise control related but it should also have a vacuum hose attached if it's that.

That Connector (Metri-Pack 630 Series Pull-To-Seat) was used for "Stand Alone" Fuses, and for Electric Cooling Fans (Radiator).

I think Vorteciroc might have nailed it, it could have had a 20A fuse plugged into it and it lived up on the fender.

Looking twice, then again Battman may have the answer.

Pics of the wire colors attached to it would sure help

It looks like the fan connector on my 91,
Did the 84's have an electric coolant fan? looking over the drawing I'm not seeing any wiring related to a coolant fan

I could be wrong but I think the HO L69 engines got an electric fan in ‘84 (for firebirds - not sure about camaros).
