It should be a 12 gauge red wire with a white or black connector, it will only plug in one way on the cap, it goes in the " BATT " terminal.

I think I'm going to need to go to the parts store and buy a new connector and rebuild my connection. 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?

A little fuel, a little spark, it's amazing how much noise and power we can make. 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.

sure did =) now all I need to do is bleed my brakes. 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 =)

I got lucky. The master cyl is good. The rear res had no fluid and a lot of air in the system. I've now got full power to the brakes. =)

Glad that's all it was. Now the next question is: Where did all of the brake fluid go? []

I'm blaming the gremlins on that one. =)

That'll work as long as the calipers stay dry.
