Vibration & Wiring problem

Both on my 78 though.

First: is their is a orange wire in a 6wire plug that is on the driver's side by the firewall and fender in the corner ?
The wire got pulled loose when my friend pulled the connector (when I pulled my motor a while back) and in the proccess he pulled out the orange wire out of the connecter. BAD news it is an ignition wire that I can shove in thier but it will eventally work its way out and kill the truck dead in its tracks-no fire.
I can pull over and stuff it back in thier but that gets really old.
Fix it how I can get pictures tomarrow.

The 2nd thread is it also has a vibration that shakes the truck but can't be felt in the steering wheel so I don't think its a un-balanced front tire

It will rattle the windows good though. It is not noticable going 60mph or slower.
thanks
Dustin
