Ford 5000 engine

[Agri–Mechanics]

Does anyone know what the circled connection usually runs too doing Sanderson engine with a ford engine, this connection is not connected and is throwing oil out , could I block it off or does it need to be connected to something

Thats a tachometer cable connection

Ah thanks I'll blank it off

Should it throw oil out? if it was connected and its that bad the speedo head would fill up with oil.
