The below picture shows the type of plug, recessed allen head.. The one I have is in the picture below. Ok for now, but would like one that's more OEM. Thanks... 6415944-DSC02878.JPG (25 downloads) Last edited by hemi68charger; 01/13/11 09:08 PM.

Unfortunately, the only spare housing I have with the proper plug is sitting in the engine compartment of that orange winged thing in my garage.... Sooooooo, hence the the searchith..

That's why I'd like to find one "laying" around in a bin for sale.. Last edited by hemi68charger; 01/13/11 09:25 PM.
