If you need a new plug, they can be ordered from Electric Motor Service in Logan, WV. Their phone number is 800- 697-6070

The part number is 050-012252 and they go for $9.53 each plus shipping with no minimum.They cone with 3-4" of wires already attached so you can splice.

+1 for this I had to replace this connector when I replaced my alt a few weeks ago. After replacing the alt, the light we still coming on. One of the wires was badly frayed right at the connector. I called this place and I had the new connector in a couple of days.
