Default Unknown Connector, Radiator Mount Thing, Broken Hood Latch Bracket w Pics

I was able to devote some time over the past few days to working on finishing my build up.

1. I put the rad/condenser/fans back in and can't figure out where this connector goes. It's on the same lead as the two fan pigtails. Doesn't go to ABS from what I can see, all those connectors are hooked up.


2. This one too. Comes off the same lead the coil pigtails are on. Much longer than all other leads. I believe it goes to the Oil Pressure Sensor on the driver's side of the block. Can anyone confirm?



3. I'll spare the story here, but it involved getting stuck in the snow for those who are curious. This got pulled apart and now the hood latch doesn't sit right. It looks like I can bend it back but the hole the screw goes into is opened up. Without getting too deep into it, I am wondering what part of the car this screw is supposed to go into. It's metal. Not really sure what the "name" of it is and I really am not much of a body guy. Any ideas on repair here?



4. Between the plastic cover and rad, there goes a rubber.... thing. Looks 'C' shaped. One on the top, another on the bottom for the rad to sit on. I would love to google and hunt for it, but have no idea what to call it. Not really a bushing. Perhaps a mount? Is there an appropriate name for it? Not sure if its parts store fare or WTB in the forum. I need whatever goes here.


Thank you so much for all of your assistance. Hope the pictures help!

That blue plug is the water temp sensor, goes in the sensor just under the header on the drivers side. Can see the sensor in one of the pics you have.

That bigger plug...its also loose on my car but I deleted the ABS stuff and almost certain it comes from there...but you say all your ABS stuff is plugged in.

Check here, save it as a fav:

1 might be for the cruise control module by the LH frame rail.

2 temp sensor as already mentioned.

3 you may have to weld the hole and re-drill the radiator support.

4 is a rubber insulator GM PART # 10188026

Shbox... Bowtie... Thank you so much, I will give those a shot. After pondering I came to the same conclusion about the cable being to cruise control. Welding and redrilling sounds fun, ugh, but prob the best approach.

Of course. Insulator, the only word I didn't think of on Nalley GMC's website.

I was lobbying for an icon that stated as such, but no one gives a **** about the LTx section.

Well I ordered the parts from Nalley GMC yesterday, and with the holiday weekend, I'm sure it will be a few days before I see them which is fine. I still have plenty of other work to do on it. My name is George and I've been Shbox'd... sounds so much better than being overhauled...
