what is this and where does it go?

Something to do with AC perhaps? Any other angles of the picture, so it is more obvious what you're talking about? I'm guessing it is the plug that looks to be about 3/4" diameter, 1-1.5" in length, in the top-right corner of the picture?
Edit: What engine is this on? If it's a 1j, it might be something related to the hydro pump...

It's a condenser (also known as a capacitor) they are used to store electricity but not really sure what it is used for on the Supra though.
I went and checked my 88 since I have the motor out and didn't see one. Aftermarket maybe. Common automotive uses are ignition points (obviously not for a Supra), stereo systems (usually bigger), some after market ignition systems. It will be wired directly into what ever it's storing power for usually.
Looks like the cap that is sometimes mounted to the back of the alternator, can't be sure though.
Noise suppressor for the alternator. How I know? I just fucked with mine 3 days ago.

I'm thinking this is what we're looking at... I've usually seen them bolted to the alternator though, or at least that's what my memory of the last time I saw an alternator out of a car is telling me anyway.BoostMonger;1881940 said:
