Help With Identifying Under-Hood Items
I was hoping one of you kind gents might help me with identifying several items under the hood of the '92 F150 XLT 4x4 I recently purchased.
These unplugged connectors are both male. The black one comes out of the power distribution box, while the grey ones runs down under the truck:

Thanks for the quick replies!
I was hoping as much. We have only visible emissions inspection on pre-OBDII here, so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had to worry about.

Oh, one I know! The electrical connections are where you plug in a relay block to power the aux and backup light functions of the 7-way trailer plug that you can install. You should have two similar plugs back behind the spare tire. I discovered that my truck was prewired for a 7-way plug when I went to go add one - previous owner had spliced in a 4-flat plug already.
You can search for Ford part #14A346 - Auxiliary Battery Wiring Harness to find one. I ended up skipping it - my trailer needed the brake controller, but not backup lights or aux power.

Thanks, niner!
I had just been checking the 7-pin outlet earlier, and had noted that I had no auxiliary power available there, though the standard functions all work. That explains it. My trailer requires a 4-flat, and I figure I'll just get an adapter for $10 or so.
