NAPA can order it for about $150.00 each. You can usually get used takeouts from
the usual dealers for about $20 to $25. NOS will run you a little more. I would
stay away from imports. The only one I tried only lasted a day or two. Anyone
else with better luck?

There are two kinds, one with new style connectors and one with old style (metal)
connectors.
