Misc. Name that part
What is this wire/connector and where does it go? It's about 4 inches in length and there is no exposed connector. This picture is taken from the drivers side. Inline 6 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l

It’s a bit tough to confirm from that picture. But, I’d say it’s the coolant temperature sensor pigtail.
What year and is the motor stock?

Looks like an unused CA hookup.
I think your Jeep originally had a computer-controlled carb, which uses a nightmare conglomeration of sensors and vacuum lines. It's possible that there have been upgrades to the Jeep to eliminate that problematic system. The coolant sensor was part of that original system and is probably not needed anymore, likely due to a replacement/upgraded carb.
The temperature gauge runs off a different sensor located near the rear of the motor on the other side, with a single wire.

I think my 4 cylinder had something just like that. That’s long gone now. I’m using that on my 6 cylinder now.
