I swear, yes swear, that the connector looked fine when I pulled the engine for the head job at the beginning of this summer. Yes, I knew it had no boot, but I am sure the wires did not look like this.
I had a spare connector, from an inline 4 Digifant engine, and I spliced it on. Butt connectors, dielectric grease, heat shrink, you know the drill.
And to boot, the “new” connector has a boot!

Hi Alistair
All 3 wires seems to be dark, are they burned?
I am pretty sure it will run better right after that.

Not burned Jerome, just darkened from the years of heat ( I think). I’m wondering if they had a role in my mysterious occasional bucking syndrome.

Time will tell Alistair.
Year of heat, do you mean you need another cooler on your distributor? 😉

Actually I’d like an oil cooler. I think it’s worth looking into as it could be transferred to new motor.

An oil cooler is always good.
I need to redo my oil cooler system with real nice hose connectors (with regular hose and clamps as now…) but again as I might change the way I did it it is not a problem. I won’t trust what I did for more than 2 years as it seems those hose clamps aren’t that great….
