ah the bain of my life! Glad I'm not the only one...

I've had so many wires unsolder from those plugs I almost threw the motor out the window. turned out mine weren't sitting snug so the arc'ing was heating up and melting my solder. The motor wasn't even that hot either!

My 5.5 was beyond saving so I did what Hog did and soldered the plugs direct to the can.

My 7.5 I put a tiny bit of solder on the male inside the car. Now the plug is super snug and hasn't unsoldered since. I tried bending my plugs into an egg, but it didn't help all that much. also tried bending the male out to make it hold better.
