Ignition timing lead

Thanks in advance for help on what some may find a silly question. New to Mercruiser engines and still learning. Appreciate all the great help on this forum.
Where is the ignition timing lead typically found? Is the other end of that purple/white wire connected to something on the block?
I see the purple/white wire from the ignition control module. I lose it once it goes into bundle or wrapped wires. The bundle of wires that come out by the alternator and electric fuel pump don’t include a purple/white wire.
Is the other end of that purple/white wire that runs to the ignition timing lead connected to something on the block? Or is it just a lead and is not connected to anything? (Hence the name.)
I found a purple/white wire with a female connector that isn’t connected to anything. The female connector has a rubber plug in it. I’m not sure if this is the ignition timing lead or a disconnected wire.
Is the ignition timing lead connected to something on the block?
Thanks
