Yikes!Help! My first post..so bear with me.
Went to take the 'ole girl outta the garage for a spin this AM & turned the ignition key and she started to start, then nothing. I have brand new starter/Optima battery etc. & the wires to the starter & starter solenoid have occasionally loosed, so I disconnected the battery and went to tighten the nuts. In this process a wire and connection to what I think is the E.S.C. sensor popped loose. I think this controls the secondary cooling fan, but not sure. The aluminum box-like connector appears shot, as it won't connect properly & I assume it needs replaced. I've searched through several catalogs and can find nothing of the sort. ANY IDEAS? As far as the starter is concerned, I think it just got stuck in an odd position, as a couple of light taps witha rubber mallet and she started right up!
Any suggestions on this connector for the ESC unit would, like, float my boat!Thanks!

Well..I found out that ESC stands for "Electronic Spark Control" and this is a "knock" sensor and has nothing to do with the cooling fans!But rather is a sensor that adjusts timing electronically. There is a connector available, but it does not look like the original on an '82(about $18) The ESC sensor itself($105) FYI.....any further help would still be appreciated! Thanks, Rich.
