I believe that is the Lambda probe connector. In the manual it shows testing it for reading a lean/rich mixture and it's location is exactly where this plug is.
Apparently on the 87 they decided not to have this active or only allow shops to connect a testing device to it. 88's have it connected.
I've never connected a voltmeter to mine so now I'm curious if it is active or if this is just coming from the DME and the 87 engine is missing the probe.

Ah, thanks for the tips guys. It is that exact connector, so I guess it's not supposed to go anywhere.
All of the other engine connectors appear to be fine, so I'm wondering what else I should try. If anything I should just do some basic compression tests to see the health of the engine.
I found another funny little tidbit today in the car, it was an oil change sticker from a Jiffy Lube. It said to change the oil by 119,000 miles or by 6/12/2011. So there's a good chance this car hasn't run in like 5 years.

So you still don't have any hints of it starting? You might even have to get a replacement DME if all else fails. Also check for a collapsing fuel line at the fuel pump.
I you have tack bounce as you said then I suspect the sensors are fine.
Your injectors may be toast too but typically you would get something out of them.
