Have you checked to see if it is powered up with the key on. It kind of looks like the temp sending wire.
Key on is giving me 10 volts to that wire...Key off gives no power to it.

Nope, not the AC compressor, thats all hooked up and working, and I am able to trace that back to the firewall area.

Plugged into the original style vacuum advance which would have two leads, one is power (that one) the other went to an idle ground lug on the carburator...
Interesting, so someone changed the distributor your thinking? and should have just capped off this wire?

electric choke?
Electric choke is blue.
In 70 Chrysler wasn't using a choke heater yet, that started in I believe 72....

In 1970 some 383's & 440's (mostly HP)had a advance designed to drop all timing at idle, it looked like this...
Some cars that didn't get that style advance still have the connector taped into the harness.. That's probably what happened here..
Wow, learn something new everyday . So it has some kinda solenoid that's supposed to eliminate idle advance somehow? That's kinda what the timed port is for
