The first one does sound like the NSS.
Second one, may be a solenoid used for vacuum control, which is a part of emissions. That is only found on the 302 engines. It ties into the ignition.

None.
The NSS was only used with Automatic Transmissions.
1973/77: The NSS is mounted at the bottom of...and above the steering column inside the cab. The NSS's plug feeds off the dash wiring harness.
So...what's that plug doing under the hood if it's for a NSS?
The bottom plug is part of the engine gauge feed loom, prolly plugged into the coolant temperature sensor which was part of the IMCO emission control system.
The sensor has prolly been removed. This sensor threaded into the t/stat housing on some, into the intake manifold on others.
The coolant temperature sensor has nothing to do with the temp gauge on the dash.
