Push on connector. Ground?

I just finished replacing the valve covers, and I have one connector that I can’t find a home for. It’s a small single wire push on connector. Does anyone know where this attaches?




Thanks!

That's either coolant temp sender or oil pressure sender. Edit: to expand on that the coolant temp sender is screwed into the lower intake manifold near the distributor, the oil pressure sender is screwed into the block near the oil filter, check for wires on both of them, whichever is missing one, boom you found your plug a home.

Update: I don't know if the oil pressure switch was leaking before, but after this, it was leaking BAD. Just running out. Bought a new part, the required 1-1/16" deep socket, did a quick remove and replace. No more leak.

I have a new problem, but I'll put that in a new thread.

Thanks again for the help!
