I've been wondering about this wire for a while. It's a ground, I know that, but I don't know for what. Actually, i'm not really sure if it's a ground, but pretty sure. Anyone know what it's for, where it comes from? This car has factory A/C so it might be for that? it's a 1974 1.8 stock L-jet.
Thanks for any insight Attached image(s)

If it's brown, just connect it to ground.

"Factory A/C? Not a chance. No such thing. As for the wire, looka like it needs to go to a cheesehead screw on the engine. Make it so. The Cap'n

He's right. Don't worry where it goes, if it's brown, flush it down (I mean ground it). |

Where did the A/C come from? - was it dealer installed? The car is originally a Texas car.
