Going over the wiring diagram to put a 1996 Ford Mass Air inline 6 in the '57 Vanette. Can't seem to find an answer on the internet for this Pink and Light Green wire..."TO MIL IND." Know what it is?
Ah I cut it off in the picture, but 3/4 over the MAF sensor is pins 88 and 36 and the BLK/YEL-BLK/WHT wire. Reading this from the MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR the BLK/YEL wire turns into a BLK/WHT wire and goes nowhere? or just dead ends and is really not used? Correct? or ?
Wiring is only fun for me when the car finally starts and does not catch itself on fire.

MIL usually means Malfunction Indicator Light. I think that's your check engine light.
goes to your Mother In Law Indicator. God help you if THAT lights up.

Yup, check engine light. So you don't need it.
And the wire you are inquiring about from the MAF, blk/ylw to blk/wht and goes "nowhere", just means it terminates to "a" ground. If it doesn't list a location, like your MIL indicator, it will TYPICALLY be ground.
Last time my check engine light came on, I opened the hood, checked to see there was indeed an engine in there, closed it, and went on my way.

So it may be "a" ground, but not displayed by having a specific ground symbol like the BLK wire here for example? Thanks for the help.
It could also be a spliced ground and just missing the ground and splice number.
