I found this on the Cruiser today and it looks as though it should be attached to something. The thing runs, starts and seems to be fine but I don't like finding stuff like this as it should go somewhere I am pretty sure. It runs from the battery and y's off kind of through the coil, I don't see anything apparent that it should go to. Thanks for any help
Any Idea where this is supposed to attach

And since everyone always wants photos of the rigs here is mine had it for about a year and the addiction has fully set it.
What the heck? Doesn't look familiar at all. I'm guessing it's an add on circuit, for who knows what, by the PO.

It looks like the oil sender wire. There should be a gold colored oil sender down by the oil filter somewhere with a tab and/or a little round knob on top. That wire's supposed to clip to the little round knob on the top, NOT THE TAB!!! (Don't ask me how I know!)

By the way, that's the best color for these trucks....

Thanks guys I have an answer, I have a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Thanks for all the replies. I am partial to the color also.
What about that hose behind it?
This is a great pic because it shows the hose to nowhere. Behind the part behind held, there is a hose sticking straight up. Where is that supposed to go? My 60 has always had that random hose to nowhere. I've always wondered about it.

Nevermind. That's not a hose, its the wire wrapping. Anyway, i have a hose to nowhere right were that wire wrapping is in the picture.
Is it a hose or your dip stick tube...better check your trans fluid level ?
It's a hose. It comes out of the middle of the distributor about six inches and then just ends. Some sort of breather vent possibly?
Yes it is a vent hose for the distributor. Can't remember 100% where it goes to though.

Now I know it's supposed to connect somewhere. I'm on the right track. Thanks.
It runs into the firewall rite behind the windsheild washer fluid tank. At least it does on my 88.
