It is the coil to distributor wire. The s13's have an external coil, and the s14's an internal coil, thus no wire. But, since the two setups are identical to both s-chassis, minus that one issue they make one kit to fit both cars and just include the coil wire to simplfy packaging and other costs.

And this was just brought up exactly, and a search would have found this. Also I fail to see the relevance to spark plugs?? So yes. :) hehe j/k

BTW I gave my accell coil wire to my gf with my still good oem wires (resistance was a bit high for my taste) to my gf, as she has a 92. If you had an external msd coil setup it could come in handy as well.
