No problem! That plug goes to the solenoid to purge the vapor canister, where gas fumes from the tank and the air cleaner are stored. When the engine is running the solenoid opens a valve and the fumes are sucked into the intake and burned.
You can see the circuit for it on Page 53 here: Carburetor Circuits - ???Gary's Garagemahal. Yes, that isn't for your engine, but the circuit is essentially the same.
But, my guess is that whomever installed the itty bitty air cleaner also removed the wiring. So, you may not have anywhere to plug it.
By the way, this was posted from my iPad. But I absolutely refuse to use the mobile view.

No, the other part of the circuit would be in the engine wiring harness. Look for a plug with a red/yellow wire hanging loose.
As for the air cleaner, you can read my thoughts about them here: Air Cleaners - ???Gary's Garagemahal. The short version is that you need to find one from a salvage.

I'm in SW ok. Lawton ok. Roosevelt was a huge help when I was redoing my 84 f150 a few year back. If you have never been to Roosevelt you need to check it out. Google earth it and look how huge it is. Very reasonable on prices

It looks like the whole town is a salvage! Hmmm. I'm looking for a black mesh weave radio bezel with the bright bead on it. I wonder if they have one.
By the way, I'm having the Okie FTE get-together in September here at my place in Skiatook.

I'll be going there the first week of may. Send me a pic of the kind you want I will look around for you. It's a "you pull the part yard" so even they even don't know what all they have. You tell them the year make and model and they point you to the part of town they are in. The old high school is full of engines ands transmissions and there is an old gas station that is full of grilles and front ends. It's crazy. Like I said worth the drive. When I go I will for sure take pics of the Ford truck sections and post them so everyone can have an idea of what they have.
