Re: bulkhead connector

Use a heat gun. The rubber gets hard as a rock over 50 years but a little heat can make it pliable again. Once heated and pliable you want to push it through into the engine compartment. Then you can remove the grommet and pull the connector back out.

this dude has all the parts if something goes wrong. he has a channel on youtube.
"alternatorman" is his channel I think?


now the the "off topic". when I was rewiring my starter I discovered a 5" crack along the bottom of the spark plugs.

kinda threw a wet blanket on my project.
