where does this elec connector hold down lock go...

It looks like a grounding strap to me. Likely the firewall?

no..it's definitely an elec connector lock down of some sort...made out of plastic, so cant be for a ground and is tethered @ the other end to a wire loom

The locks usually go on the super important stuff. Oil pressure switch? Throttle sensor? crash sensor?

...ended up having a used engine put into the truck, as I couldnt find another S10 in as good a shape for the cost of an engine replacement...apparently, that hold down baffled the shop that did the replacement, as it's still danglin' there...LOL
