Any advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks

I pulled the fusible link & tested it with a test light, light works also tested it with a dvm & have zero ohms, battery voltage is 12.5 volts. I wonder if I shorted out the ammeter gauge as I was blowing interior & taillights so I substituted a 30amp fuse for a 20 just so I could drive home from a show. thanks

Thanks

Thanks Ebay has the engine compartment side (3 plugs) but the main socket is part of the Year One only dash wiring harness. As the other posters have indicated, the individual terminals are available. They are "Packard" style terminals and are available form such places as EG&G terminal.
