1976 2.0. Putting engine back in after a 2056-dectomy, but it has been out too long and as usual I didn't take enough pictures of all the important connections.

There are many threads on wiring for the starter. However, I have one additional wire that I don't see in any of those threads, but I marked as going to the starter solenoid.

Wire in my hand:

The wire in question is red and has a spade terminal on the end. It is not the cable that runs from the alternator. My best guess as of today is that is leads up to the firewall and goes through here:

Thoughts? Car has air conditioning, so is this part of that?
