Had this problem on my '85. Just get a small screw driver and insert it into the plastic housing and pry a little to bend the female spade connector "fingers" back to where they should be. Then push it back onto the male spade connector on the startter and it should go on firmly and be good to go again. Have fun. Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16 |
