Please say no as I can't see the corresponding male connector anywhere.
Its at the rear of the ignition amplifier on the aluminium heat sink.
Cheers Paul.

Pretty sure there should be something plugged into it, isn't that the connector for the ignotion amp? Does your car run with it unplugged?

Yes I'm afraid. You can see the male connector in the below pic resting on the side of the trumpet base/plenum. It is part of the loom that stretches across the front of the engine (normally cable-tied to the long breather hose)

Sorry,should have said,car has been in a million bits as ive done a body off. Cant find a picture of this item pre strip down. It looks suspiciously clean as though it did have something plugged into it.
