     Does anyone know where to obtain and how to replace this connector?

I replaced one on my wife's 1988 90q.  The boot was filled with antifreeze.  I 
ordered the connector shell using the part number on it, and picked up new 
insert connectors from Eurosport's parts trays.  (Sorry, don't have the shell 
number here at work.)  You will also need a crimp tool designed for this type of
insert, although careful manipulation with pliers can substitute if you are 
desperate.  (Email for more info.)
