I have a bad connector and was able to patch it back up with electrical tape, but I will get a new connector when my patch finally fails. Those connectors are somewhat fragile after 30+ years of use. If you have a bad connector you can get an OEM AC Delco connector from the same online OEM retailers. Check the online Delco pigtail catalog:

Some have free shipping and usually no sales tax (for now, anyway.)

I got a new motor already, but I see what your talking about with those connectors, I think that may be one of the issues...I work at orileys and got it pretty cheap, I did keep the old one as a back up
