1974/4 factory fuel injection. I have a white wire that comes out of the harness with the three wire distributor plug. Have searched high & low but can not figure out where it goes (see picture). Also, I have a broken black wire on the non-condenser side of the coil that is connected to another black wire out of the harness. Any ideas? Thanks.

It is a 2.0. Here is a picture of the coil wire that is broken. Photo was shot looking into the engine bay from the passenger side. There is a broken black wire crimped into the same connector as another black wire on the right side of the coil. The non-broken black wire feeds into the wiring harness with three other wires, another black one, a green & red one, and a white one. Still trying to figure out where the broken black wire goes. Thanks.
