Default need help y7 to y8 swap

hey recently my timing belt stretched you know the outcome.
i had a d16y8.
i picked up a good d16y7 and good y8 head put them together w/ new gaskets i have only two problems.
one i have a wire on the back of the engine coming out of the harness w/ two other ones one is the crank pos. sensor its hooked up fine the other is the block temp sensor its hooke up fine. the one i cant figure out is a single red wire its pretty short the plug is round and has space for two prongs but its a single wire like i said.
the other is on the very top back of the intake mani. that sensor has a spot for a vaccuum line pointing straight down. i have the line it has a plastic piece on the end like it pops into a rubber fitting. cant figure out where.
also theres a tube running from the thermostat to the coolant pump theres a space on there for a line cant figure it out.
please help. need to get to work.

it's a knock sensor, the Y7 block does not have a place for a knock sensor while the Y8 does. Just take the sensor out of your old block, hook it up, and fasten it to your firewall in a out of the way place

^ you have to register and log in to view

Comes complete with valve cover and i even have the intake manifold.

I just got a new JDM D15b, but am not using the head only the bottom end. These engines come with a garuntee that they only have 40k miles when you buy them, so the head is in prestine condition. Comes with cam, valve train, valve cover, vtec soleniod, and i even have the intake manifold with all hardware on it ready to rock.

200 shipped.
