I am restoring a 55 Century Convertible. Nice new paint job, nicely detailed engine bay, new wiring harness and crappy looking old plastic electrical connectors, the ones that are used to butt splice two wires together. These are used to connect the heater motor lead to the power lead under the hood, there is also one used fo the gas sender unit in the trunk of the car and I beleive they are used for the power window motor connections. Does anyone know if these connectors are reproduced or where I might obtain some decent used ones?

Thanks for your help.

Hey Bob,

That's who I got my harness from, the directions say to reuse the original connectors.

I'll give them a try though. Is that where you got yours?

You might want to look up YNZ and talk to them, they were real friendly and helpful when I needed bullet connectors for my 50.
Their phone is (909) 798-1498.
