Default Engine Wiring Help

I have 1 misplaced wire in my 68 GTO with manual trans. Its a brown wire with a top hat female connector. Same type of connector that is used on the oil pressure switch. Where does it go? Thanks

Scott is correct . Yes that is where it goes . It's a little tough to find but its bolted to frame just follow the front brake lines and they will lead you to it. It will plug right in. I had the same issue finding mine also. If you need a picture let me know. Doug

That's a tan wire with a female pin connector. This is the brown wire with a female spade connector. Same as the oil switch which is a blue wire.

Is it possible that it's not used?

More than likely it's for the low brake fluid warning light.
