Noticed Something

While I was replacing my FPR guts, I noticed on the inboard side of the rocker covers there is a plug. One on each bank. What are these for?
I ask since I noticed that there is one lead on each plug that has been stripped and now is bare wire. Time to fix that up before I start shorting something out.

That sounds reasonable. Its strange that its the same on both banks. Maybe the previous owner was doing some mods or something. I'll snap some pics of it before I fix it up.

I took some pictures of it, they are in my gallery . It looks like a bare loop of wire ,not a stripped wire. I checked the other connectors as well and the loop of wire is there too. I wish I had my tech manual here.
