    Mystery double wire connector

    Where does this attach to? It comes from the same wire bundle that has the oil pressure switch wire. I can't seem to find a male connector that it goes to.

    I assume it is for the 1993 E36 325i, will move it to the E36 forum

    That goes to the condenser on your distributor. Tach signal and points ground.

    The wires may reach easier if the ignition distributor was properly orientated.

    And welcome to the forums.
