So my 1988 B2 which has been bulletproof for 230,000 failed to start for my wife. Went to get it and battery was dead, put a good battery in it and was good for a couple weeks then died again, got the alternator off and the rear plug w the two heavy gauge wires was badly burned up. Question is do I have to use a JY old plug or would it be advisable to make one? O.E rectangular plug is heavily insulated and literally turned to carbon. I looked all over but have not been able to find a new one, also searched the electrical threads but was not able to find one about this issue, any help appreciated.
