Not that it matters now, but I stock the correct GM style "brown" HEI tach connector. The off-white connector is for HEI BATT and the brown connector is the TACH lead-weird how the AAW one won't plug in-I don't know that there's a different style....unless of course they switched suppliers and are using an offshore version of a Delphi connector.....that wouldn't surprise me.
