Can the White connector and pins that is part of the dash harness be purchased anywhere???
The blinker switch has one side and the dash harness has the other side. This is for a 72 Road Runner but believe the connector and pins are used in other applications.
Thanks Ron

Only place I've obtained it is purchasing a dash wiring harness from year 1. Wonder where M&H gets them.

You can tighten the female molex using a very small screw driver pushed in between plastic connector and female molex in each hole,,,,if that helps you.

you are talking about the 8 pin connector that goes to the column.
i do have a few 71-2 parts dash harness's kicking around somewhere
but then i wonder how you would be
able to salvage out the pins??
i also wonder this because
one of my other harness's happens to have that connector broken.
i do have a good spare harness to replace it if i can't fix it correctly.
i have also seen other harness's with the pins have been burnt
on that connection.

you have me interested now..
this just might work out
if you can reuse the plastic plug
maybe these kind of pins might work?
they say they are for chrysler..
now on my list to do is to
try to get the pins out from the connector
without boogering it up..

I order up some females and males from a site found on Google . Males and females come in a variety of sizes. I will check my garage tomorrow to find the size designation required for mopar ignition. There are 2.sizes, one a bit larger than other as I recall.

Special tools are recommended to remove from plastic connector and to crimp new pins on wires.

If you have no problem with the wiring & pin connectors & only the white plastic connector body is damaged it should be relatively simple to swap over a good used one.

If you are not concerned with originality, do what I did and replace those bullet type connectors with a male/female spade and solder, especially in the heavier gauge wires.
On the smaller gauges you can find generic connectors for what's left.

You can stagger the lengths to make a neater bunch, much better solution to the OEM set-up, IMHO.

There is also a special tool that you can purchase at the better auto parts stores that allow you to disengage the locks on these terminals in order to slide them right out of the block connector.

If you don't have to have OEM, I've had real good luck with Molex brand connectors from Mouser Electronics. Nice quality stuff. They even have high amp connectors for things like electric fan setups.

I didn't realize the connector was burnt,still mite be able to save the wiring & some connectors would need a thorough examination.

You can buy the housings and connectors directly from M&H.
