Replacement electrical connection/plug on my 76....?
I have an electrical plug/connection under the brake booster that is a little melted and need to replace it.
On the bottom side of this plug is 2 heavy red wires that come from the starter. On the top side are 2 plugs/clips. First goes to the alternator and the other goes to what looks to be a wiring block on the firewall slightly under the booster. Its pretty tight in there or I would try to take a picture and post it. Maybe I'll have to try to get it out into the open.
Anyway, I thought someone might have run across this connector in their travels and might know where I can get one. I could simply replace the connector with some spade connections and shrink wrap, but I don't want to be 'Bubba'.
Hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about and chime in. Thanks for looking!!

...looks like I will just be using some heavy plastic clips from the auto parts store. Can't see spending the money on a starter harness extension over (1) clip/connector. Besides all the vendors that sell them don't seem to have one for a 76 and none of the others even look close to what I need.

It's not Bubba if you do it right. Use a store bought terminal, and properly crimp it, or solder it, and shrink wrap it. That's about as good as it can get aside from a stock connector.
