Glad this helped. As far as preventative maintaenence, (replacing the female and male ends) I wouldn't really suggest doing anything. Replacing the socket is more trouble than it's worth, but if your local junkyard has one of these cars I would go ahead and clip you a new plug with as much wire on it as possible. I'm not a mechanic (though, if I was, this could easily be a $1000 repair) but if you look, it's an inherently flawed design. The plug makes a sharp turn to fit in the female end, stretching the attached wires. So, if you can get that replacement plug, clean out the socket real good, and install the new plug with some extra slack. I would be surprised if you had any other problems. Of course, if you want, replace the entire unit, but I strongly feel that would be a waste of time and money.
