That goes to the ignition coil.

Re: Unknown unplugged wire

It looks like it’s coming from connector c100 next to the master cylinder. If it’s a pink wire it’s power to the coil/distributor. White wire is tach.

Re: Unknown unplugged wire

You will need the wires going to that connector. For coil power (+), and tach signal (-).

But keeping the fuel injection would be better. Swapping a carb is just..... defeatist.
