What's the technical name for the little red plastic enclosed thing on the passenger fender that you run your positive wires to? Mine broke and I need to know how to search for a new one.

That broke on mine too, in fact, I think it has broken on everyones. Your best bet is in a junkyard, my friend.

Good. Other people don't know either. I don't feel so stupid now. Gotta love F-bodies, but who woulda ever thought we'd pay so much for so much plastic?

Junk yards, here I come.

Yeah, but when you say "little red plastic thingy", people know right away what you are talking about.

Especially if you say it's broken Oh, and Shoebox...

Only an engineer would come up with a 6 word technical name for a piece of plastic and two bolts!!!

it breaks if you open and close it too often. Replace it and NEVER EVER open it again. (if it is important to you)

Just run one wire from the battery to the opti, and one to the computer and another to the injectors and you're set.
