I got my box of parts from Rusty - included a new block heater cord. When I reached in under the airfilter to unplug the old one, the connector felt odd.
>From underneath I could see it. Attached is a picture of it. Not like any block heater I've seen before on these cars. Anyone else seen one like this? I think the knurled ring is what holds the connector to the heater. The outside end of the cable is wearing, and my meter says there's not a low impedance path from chassis ground to AC safety ground. Anyway, it's still functions and gets plugged into a GFCI outlet - so for now I guess I'll leave it. -- Philip -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
