Simple wiring question

What is the orange wire for and what does the connector that powers look like? I don’t see a plug that looks like it fits it on my old harness and my orange wire has a bullet end on it and I don’t see where it would plug-in either.

your bullet connector plugged into the yellow, three hole connector that provides switched 12v to the wiper...not sure why the new one has an eyelet.

Putting in a new harness and it feels like I am at Olive Garden.

What brand of harness did you go with? Where are you installing the fuse block? This is an upcoming project for me with a centech harness I have purchased for my 75.

I am using American Autowire, the fuse box goes in the exact location as the original. It even uses the same holes to mount. Have the Edelbrock pro flo 4 harness and the Dakota digital stiff to all merge together.
