I don't know if anyone can assist me with some additional questions I have come across. I've tried to attach two pictures but apparently it is not allowed and so I will provide a link:

One shows a "connector to nowhere". I have no idea what it should be attached to and was wondering if someone had an idea. The other picture is a scan of the distributor schematic. On my van the previous owner crossed the two highlighted connectors and everything worked fine when I switched the two to match the diagram the injectors would not fire. Maybe this isn't a real problem but I like to understand why things are not functioning as expected or in this case as designed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
Distributor Wiring Mystery...
Re: Distributor Wiring Mystery...
The 'connector to nowhere' is the fuel pump prime terminal.
If you power that wire up, the fuel pump will run.
As to the wiring issue, a possiblility is that there was some wiring repaired improperly elsewhere so instead of repairing properly they just swapped the terminals.
