Re: [AMC-List] Fire in the Hole

I'd fix it this way. Snip out the offending connector laeving some Tail at the connectors. Replace that old time connector with a Weatherpac late model desgn connector. You can then make a short patch connector to plug in to go fromt eh weatherpac connector to the original design hsould you ever need to get one in in a hurry and throw the jumper in your tool kit or glovebox.
  The weatherpac is a much better connector than the old prestolite design. A friend uses them on his Ford Motorcraft ignitions all the time as the 70's desgn connectors are prone to breakage and corrosion.
