Re: [Chrysler300] Wire terminal block restoration perplexion

["Dave Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are (or were) new ones available at Truck parts houses, BUT, they have 
1 too many terminals. I can't recal the name of the mfgr but I have several 
of them at home. I figured I could cut ot one of the centyer lugs and glue 
it back together thye correct length.

When I get home, next week???, whenever, we are onmour way to Pueblo, CO at 
present, (Bill Woodman, are you listening??)  I'll try and remember to dig 
them out.
