WAG here, but they could be connectors that would attach to a
three-terminal oil pressure switch, which your car might not have for

I think 1974, but certainly by 1975 in the U.S. It sounds possible that
your car has an engine earlier than 1978. What is the engine number? (It
should be FMxxxxxUE if correct.)

reprint of factory stuff) might be a better bet here.
