Here's what I did.  I took some of the extra ground wire from my DSS system
and took off a half inch tube of insulation.  I then cut that down the side so I
could slip it around the pin.  Then I took the soldering gun and carefully fused it
closed and to the plastic of the connector.  Then, and I hesitate to admit this, I
used rubberbands to hold the connector snug next to the distributor.  I know
this won't last so I'll make sure to keep plenty of rubberbands in my box of
miscellaneous stuff until I replace the distributor.  Now that's a rig job, huh?

Dave, what's this JB Weld stuff?
