My guess is that your '65 has a T-85N model OD transmission. Look for the number on the side to confirm it.
The wire should be soldered to a contact - that's all. Pull the rubber boot to make sure.
That transmission was used in a lot of different models, not just Fords from '65 on.
It is also possible that the light duty version of that transmission used the same governor. I bet Bill (aka NumberDummy) can confirm that or not.
If you need to replace it (which I doubt), so, then E-bay may be your best bet. I just found 4 used possibilities, all less than 15$ each.

And...1951/56 Packard / 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk (Packard V8 engine) / 1955/56 Nash & Hudson / 1956/63 Studebaker half ton pickups / 1949/51 Lincoln / And...et cetera!
There is no such thing as a speed sensor, so...my guess is...it's either the solenoid (mounted on the drivers side of the O/D unit) or governor (mounted atop the O/D unit) the OP is refering to.
Other maladies affecting this trans: The O/D relay is mounted on the engine side of the firewall, there is a fuse mounted on this relay.
There's a kickdown switch mounted adjacent to the accelerator pedal. The O/D cable can snap.
Some of these parts can be found NOS (New Old Stock) at Ford Dealers and Ford, Packard & Studebaker obsolete parts vendors.
btw: I have Studebaker & Packard parts catalogs, so I can list these part numbers too...if the parts cannot be found at a Ford related source.

Original 3 speed with overdrive, the governor is what i was referring tool. I am going to try to resolder the wire back on it was working fine before the trans was pulled. it just leaks out of the solenoid.
