Its actually a green/black stripe wire. It is the connection point on th main harness for an optional oil temp sensor at the bottom of the engine case, which feeds a signal to the optional oil temp gauge in the center console of 1973-76 cars.

Probably disconnected because the wire from the sender to the plug is bad causing bad oil temp reading. Jeff sells replacement wire that is encased to prevent problem.
