    When I unpluuged my distributor (Duraspark), the plastic connector disintegrated in my hand. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement connector for it? I don't even care if it's original or not, as long as it is automotive-grade and reliable. It is a 3-wire connector...

    Not sure if you can get just the connector by itself, but it is possible to buy the entire reluctor unit as an assembly.

    Yeah, but this dist doesn't have many miles on it. I'd like to get just a connector if possible....

    why not just buy a weather pack connector and change both ends to a newer better type of product.

    I think I've seen them at Advance. There's a local tool place here that also carries them, maybe you could try one of those.
