What sort of tricks do you guy's use to freshen one up ??? I was thinking about putting it in the dishwasher. Last edited by 62440; 08/02/14 03:15 AM.

That'll work & perfect timing is the key with that plan. NAPA has brass "Packard 56 type" 1/4" male/female terminals but they are pricey (99 cents ea here). 725145 female and 725147 male. Crimp/solder them and raise the tab up a bit from flush on the female ones before pulling the wire/terminal back into the bulkhead. Use an eyeglass screwdriver to get the old terminals out (holler if you need more info on procedure) live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I think it needs to be sprayed with something to freshen it's look up. I was thinking along the lines of WD 40 or brake fluid. Another approach I was thinking about was completely eliminating the bulkhead connector on the firewall and going another route. Just not sure how to do it. I don't have any wiring in the car. now. I have a aftermarket wiring harness and was thinking along the lines of a terminal block on the inner frame rail near the starter.
