Bill- Thank you for ascertaining that electrical connection is for the "obscure" SureTrack" feature. Since you have the manuals that cover this, maybe you can edify the rest of us. Does the electrical current activate a pressure pump to essentially lock the rear end? I guess the modern day version would be "Traction Control" only activated when conditions demand it or activated as desired by the driver.
It then looks like Lillian's rear end is an original.

It's interesting how these cars had that Sure-Track option. I never knew that. A quick glance through the brochures show no mention of it. Heck, one can barely find references to the 4-wheel disc option in the brochures. But I did find a reference to it in the '76 owners manual.

the sure track anti-skid system was introduced on the 1969 or
1970 lincoln mark III's and continued at least through 1976 as I have owned many lincolns and 1 1976 Mercury Grand Monarch Ghia that had this system , it was made by Kelsey-Hayes and the
speed sensor on the rear-end yoke sent a signal to an electronic
contrl box mounted under the package tray under the rear window or under the dash that signaled a hydraulic control under
the floor behind the right fender that released pressure to the
rear brakes to control rear wheel lock-up . the 1973 Lincoln Mark IV had the 2nd best stopping distance from 60 mph W/ this system over all other u.s. cars according to consumer reports that
year , the best was a Ford Pinto - Andy from Phoenix Az
