connector needed!

[adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker)]

i'm debugging my voltage regulator problem ['68 american 199 moto alt].
the old reg overcharged at ~18v; three new regs don't do a thing.

so i thought i'd trace the wires.
+12 on the yellow at the reg.
continuity on the green [field] from reg to alt.
i go to pull the black [ground] off the alt and the wire snaps at the
connector!  i think all that was holding it was brittle insulation;
this could be my problem...  btw the black wire had continuity too.

i have plenty of wire to attach a new connector to, but not enough of
the molded-on connector to attach.  anyone know where i can get one?
it's a friction push-on to the ground stud.  my local advance was no
help; haven't tried the three other places within walking distance yet.

i couldn't test the orange wire; the connector was frozen onto the alt
so tight i couldn't budge it with my fingers.  is this right?
