On my 85 gt there is a plug ,kinda like an electrical outlet, that comes out of my distributor. There is also one that is just laying against the drivers side fender. What do these plug in to? My car won't start and I'm positive that it's because of this.

Thanks for the diagram. The people who had the car before me really screwed it up. There are wires going everywhere, and I'm missing some of them too.
