Its made to be able to be done in the field...

    Here the trashed connector in the foreground was labeled 87/106/38. The dirty one to the left was labeled 486/85. Notice the position of the two ribbed receptacles. Here is that wire 486/85 in the foreground and on the left is the frayed #11(ignition?) wire with a ribbed connector that is NOT...
