    Well, one of the old brittle 34 year-old wires on the voltage regulator connector broke off right at the pin. Does anyone know if new pins or connectors are available?...
    :cry:

    They are available at most auto parts stores. Check the Help section or the wiring section.

    Good point guys,, I dont know how many times I have ended up finding things in the Help section that store personnel said they did not stock.

    NAPA has it listed on their site for $3.29. Hopefully they have it in-stock. In any case, I feel much better now. This old stuff likes to break...
