I am wondering if you didn't recieve both pieces. The one I helped a member install came plugged together. Once you unplugged them, you had both the tranny blank off and the wire loom resister load.

Are you sure that the weatherstrip grommet didn't just end up in the wrong end when you unplugged it. I can't remember now from doing mine, but I think there is a soft rubber grommet in there and when you pull apart the plug, it should stay on one side but it might be possible for it to get stuck in the other (wrong) side.
Maybe?

Looked to both of us that maybe the goo needed to go, to accommodate the harness male connector. Dug around the blunt end of the eliminator plug and stopped once we saw the elec connections. What am I missing here besides a good mechanical brain? FRF Z06 is a mechanical ace, he rebuilds engines, so I don’t feel too bad. Help please.

The instructions I got with mine (from WCC) seem descent and informative (thought the pics suck). I wish I could help ya brother, but please keep us posted on your findings. I'm going to try mine next weekend and I'm sure will be needing advice and help.
Good luck.
Good luck.
And, I may require assistance. My experience with electronics problems is mostly with my (former) 67. Thanks in advance.

. Either is fine. $20-25 ought to cover it. Yet to install mine. 
We just got a bit confused how to plug it in. There was a cover on one side that led to my confusion.
