[AMC-List] Fire in the Hole

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

We sell weatherpack connectors at our retail site www.prdonline.com, you
can also link to it from the shop site www.ttdmotorsports.com. You can
also get them from summit racing and other places. I use them for
anything that I want a secure connection that might need to be
disconnected in the future, which is usually a whole bunch of stuff. Our
starter kit is an awesome deal if you are building a car or doing a
bunch of wiring, we sell them individually too. Connector corrosion and
intermittent connection issues are a thing of the past with them.

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.
