Orange Wire?

Okay, the new 454 is in, everything is hooked up, however, one wire left over. It comes from firewall to the right of booster and is bright orange. Any ideas? It has a two pronged connector at right angles (2' long). Any help is greatly appreciated, should have labeled it!

Most orange wires are a fuseable link and connect to your power buss bar on the firewall.

But like apstguy said a pic would help.

I'll see if I can borrow a camera, or just buy one this week. Thanks for replying.

I have a '79 with a 400 tranny, and I think it has a orange wire for the electric kick down? Can't remember how many prongs are on it.
