Going through my box of parts from the PO and came across this ... thing. What is it and what did it do?
TIA!

The plate is supposed to bolt the transmission on the driver side (#101075) where the flywheel is. It is a 'pickup' that was supposed to be there for diagnostic purposes but no one knows if the flywheel actually has anything for this to read (it would have been perfect, if it did indeed work, to use for EFI!).

Thanks. That's curious.
If I can find the other half of the wire, I'll attempt to reconnect it. If not, I'll just clean it up, paint it and bolt it back on without the wire, I suppose.
There's no point in connecting it. It does nothing
On my car I clipped the wire and left the plug head in place.

Agreed, unless you want it for originality or whatever then install /connect it. Otherwise, that plate makes it a PITA to remove the engine/transmission and the sensor isn't useful for anything. When I had that engine, I removed the plate with the pickup & the whole diagnostic plug completely.

What about the flywheel inspection protection plate, which is also in the box. Does that serve a purpose?
