Ignore post.  Finally found.  Ground wire connected where the ground strap
connects to cylinder head.

Subject: The dreaded mystery wire.

Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions on how to loosen the fitting
on the condenser.  I wound up cutting it off with a cutoff wheel on a Dremel
tool.  Time will tell if I fubar'd it.

Now I have another issue I hope folks can help me with.

Car is a 91 2.1 wbx automatic.  I replaced the A/C compressor,
receiver/dryer, and the hoses to the condenser.   I have it all buttoned up
and ready to go to the shop to charge the system.

I have a broken brown wire with a blue tracer coming out the same harness as
the three wires to the Hall Sensor on the distributor.  I cannot find for
the life of me where this wire goes and I hoping someone can point me in the
right direction.

Thanks, Bob C
