New Project - '71 Plymouth Valiant

I didn't try to attach it, i just presumed that I had the incorrect wire end. In my defense, I did just get this car from a guy that did a bunch of work to it, much of which I am replacing due to lack of quality and attention to detail (aren't I just the hypocrite right now?), so I guess I got in the mindset that it was likely disconnected when I got it and was just not properly replaced when the work was done.

Thank you both for helping me clear that up, and as always - the experience I am absorbing from FABO members is incredibly helpful!
