How do you remove the male spade conectors from the bulkhead connection. The ignition wire that come out of the firewall broke off at the bulkhead connector. I pulled the bulkhead apart but I can't get the male spade to come out to fix the wire. Thanks

Look at it very carefully.You can put a very small screwdriver in the connector and slip the spade right out.Awwwww heck

Here's a better link it's about HEI but tells how to replace the resistor wire which is the part you want to read andmember "shifty" even gives a part # for the spade terminal you need.Buy extry so you don't have to go back.

That is the terminal with the little "leg" on it right ? If so, just use a side cutter to snip the leg at the top where it connects to the larger part. It will slip right out. Get a replacemnt terminal from NAPA. After you get it fixed, fill the holes on the back side with some liquid electical tape stuff to keep it sealed up.
