Check out the second pic in that post. These are like weatherpack connectors in that you can repin a new connector. These plugs are on the body harness just below the starter solenoid. I think there are more than one 6 position plugs. Id like to get more than one, but i NEED one. Text me with price if you can cut one out of a car you are parting. Ill repin, you can just cut the wires.

Probably not, Id have to see the pins. These are pretty thick. 4 of the 5 wires look to be 12 guage. They are on the ignition circuit, so pretty heavy.

can you post a pic of the plug you are needing?  there are a few different types of pins that were used.

This is one that looks just about identical. I do not know for sure if the original kicked out on both sides, or just one because that part crumbled away. This plug is....$100

Im going to go look at a Mustang today to try to snag one.

LOL!!  $100 thats insane...  I bet I have something similar to that I can spare or come up with atleast half of one if you cant get one from the mustang.

Yeah, I about spit coffee on my monitor when the guy told me a hundred bones for one plug.

I just picked up two sets of these from the shack.

The fifth wire is the trigger wire for the solenoid, so I can just solder that one. Im thinking I can just squirt some rtv in the back of each plug after I pin it, then electrical tape the heck out of it since these aren't really weather resistant.

Looking at it last night, I think I can cut the harness back and get enough extra wire to make this work.

THat's the plug for the fusible links in the charging system.  I hard-wired mine in after my plug went kablooey.
