What is this elecrtical PigTail?

I am reworking a 1985 4runner w/ LCE 22re auto trans.
This is a long time rebuild. Slow is the process. I am a complete amateur.

I found this part in the bag when going back through and doing a reorganize after a recent move and I cannot find it anywhere> wiring books, forum, chilton, hayne, pictures)

If I missed something obvious I do apologize.
I was looking for a 'What in the heck is this part' thread
Does anyone know what this is??

Best of days and I hope to hear from someone soon.

A pic of the end of that grey cast piece would help maybe.

Just a suggestion--don't use 8x8x16 concrete blocks, they tend to collapse..

I'm not super confident I have enough info to figure out this mystery. Just went through and reorganized all of the rest of the parts bins but sadly no clues. Is there a 'What the heck is this part?' thread?

My guess would be its an engine bay/fire-wall adjacent thing due to the lack of actual electronics in the rear of the truck.

Had not thought about that but, I did put 1x6 planks between them to disperse and pad the u-bolts.

Thanks for the input!
