You’re right. The connector was added to later models as some possible improvement. I don’t see it, they are prone to melting. I ll be adding a lot of shrink tubing to this one. It’s a bad design, being it was made to lay on top of the block and beside valve cover. All they had to do is route it along passenger fender to the alternator. I believe that’s how the B Bodies were originally routed. Should have remained that way.
