No longer charging found broken wiring

Any company with production/services will make changes to save $$$$, which is the main motivation. I work in IT and deal with leadership and bean counters all the time. Windows 10 just this past week. We still run Windows 7 in a capacity smh.
If they can kick the can done the road they will.

Can’t speak on B-body 400 engine configuration/connection this white connector looks just like the inline connector.

That photo shows why Classic should be a retailer of last resort.
One would think before photographing a sample someone would have finished assemblying the terminals into the connector. Then checked that they locked in with a little tug.



Anyway, I agree with @67Dart273 and the others that the damaged engine connectors could be eliminated and the wires spliced together. Might need to add some wire to be sure there is no strain.

At the bulkhead, even if you change the engine side harness, its worth depinning the females terminals to see if any are overheated or oxidized and cleaning them. New foam seals can be bought from Detroit Muscle Technologies (DMT).
