Can anyone ID this loose wire?

I'm replacing plugs and wires and found this wire sitting below the alternator, not connected. It's in a heat-resistant sleeve running along the valve cover to the rear of the engine and into a harness. Does it look familiar??

Looks like the Temperature sensor wire.
Should be a sensor between #1 and #3 spark plugs.

You can get the Packhard style connectors at NAPA.

Alternator on Drivers Side is normal with short water pump.
