That red wire was rebuilt with a circular connector to slide over the blaster coil. Would you happen to know the name of the connector so I can look up a picture? Or have a picture of it?

The tough jobs take awhile to figure out, the impossible ones just take a little longer. Did you find the proper connector, if not, JEGS has it, part #555-10550- $6.00. Glad we could help 'git 'ya back on the road. (in reply to Rickcusaf) Post #: 34

The car sat for a month and a half and now the pedal goes to the floor. I've either got a bad master cyl, leaking caliper or stuff in the lines. Ah well. I've got the stuff and am going to bleed them today =) (in reply to 78buckshot) Post #: 35
