Mine is the same way , And can't find the other plug

The other "plug" is on and for a diagnostic machine which is now obsolete, just let it hang there!

It's a test point for a tach

I cut the plug off and hooked my tach up to it.

The plug is a tach lead that the factory used to connect to a massive Sun diagnostic machine that was rolled around the shop.

It had a lerge screen to display various engine values and functions. and this plug/lead was needed since the introduction of the DIS ignition beginning on the 1984 turbo Buicks as it replaced the distributor.

Our local Sun distributor would provide training with their machines for these "new" high-tech vehicles.

I do understand many current owners were not even born when our cars were new!

For the "younger generation", a distributor is a supplier who is a critical link in providing your alcohol beverages!
