While I had the connector off, I tested the TPS to ensure that the contacts were still good and that it was adjusted properly. Everything checked out. The tool in the picture is a BlueDriver multimeter; if you work on older cars and need a multimeter you can't go wrong with this unit. It has automotive-specific functions such as a tachometer and dwell and is priced very reasonably.
Standard Motor Products makes replacement connectors for most of the under-the-hood connectors in the older Datsuns. I used the three-connector pigtail to replace my crumbling original connector. After noting the positions of the wires on the original connector and matching them to the wires on the replacements, I cut and soldered the wires into place.
Heat shrink tubing was used to protect the individual splices as well as create a sheath around the entire bundle.
A quick test drive after replacement showed that things were working normally. Another minor repair complete!
