so the plastic peice that covers the red and yellow wires in pics was cracked into halfs... im sure it was there for a reason but anywhoo koi and autozone said xnay on finding that part....

it was more like a anti short kind of covering... im lookin at it and deciding if i can just run it as is...?

also thought about electrical taping it to insulate it but since the ign control module that it plugs into gets hot enuff to need heat sink grease, im thinking it may melt the tape....?....

any thoughts on this? its not right on the metal, dont think it would arc/ short but idkfs..

The plug mostly justs keep you from mixing up the wires. That looks good.
