<VV> no electrical power

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

I POLITELY beg to differ, it's a poor design. The screw should, by proper  
design, go into a metal insert. A device like this would then be maintenance  
free. I've never run across a critical electrical connector like this on any  
other make or model of car. For front engined GM cars of this era, wasn't this  
usually a REAL screw terminal on the horn relay?

The only  horrid thing about it is YOU. It's called "lack of owner
maintainance."  Plastic doesn't, after all, lasts forever, despite the hype
about it being  "forever." When it gets bad, replace it. Simple as that.

I've NEVER had  a problem with the hot wire terminal block (that "red
thingy" to which you  refer) because I never let it deteriorate to the point
of being a trouble  spot. I've had three dozen Corvairs and owned Corvairs
since before they  stopped building them. The "longest-ownership" one I have
is a '67 that I  bought in '71. No problem with the terminal block on ANY of
my Corvairs,  including that car.

So, stop blaming the item and start blaming the  REAL problem, YOU.
Sheeesh......
