First I'd like to say thanks to all who responded (especially Dean_T), you got me thinking again and made me dig deaper.
The strange wires and connector below did in fact turn out to be the connector for the turn signal flasher. The evidence of this being grafted into the wiring harness was well hidden behind old (at least 10 years) electrical tape that looked factory.
Your replies made me realize that a PO had modified the emergency flasher harness and was using the emergency flasher for the turn signal, I replaced the emergency flasher switch and harness due to a bad switch, but just didn't clue in on the fact that there should be two flashers, to make matters worse the connector looks 35 years old. The sad part is I've rewired 2 other '66's, but it's been years.
I decided to go through the entire system wire-by-wire completely removing the main wiring harness from the dash including the fuse box. I found only one other minor anomaly in this harness.
Again I'd like to say thanks to my fellow VMFers for lending a hand and not putting me down for making a stupid assumption.
