Need some help on this, I have a two wire connector under the dash with a male/female connector and a plug downline like it goes through the firewall but not sure where it goes or what it's to.  The wires are red/yellow hashtag and brown/yellow hashtag.  I checked the wiring diagram and the closest thing I can come up with is something with the emissions system.  Any help would be greatly appreciated  -  thanks  -  dave

Would that connect to wiring from the distributor then?

it runs into the wiring harness but it's basically inline for the positive to the coil

i'll check a tach and see what color wires they are red i think but they may change as it goes through the harness...

Thanks, John, like I said the closest thing color wise on the wiring diagram was emissions related, if I don't have to run it into the engine bay area I'll just secure it in the dash area.
