Doesn't resemble the current aftermarket offerings for a 4 pronger, but the orange and white wire were a good clue.

The second set of contacts are for the transmission by the looks of things. This is the 1983 wiring manual, don’t have an 82 manual.

The second set of contacts is either for the cruise control, or as others mentioned the lockup torque converter.
