Happy New Year Everyone,
I am trying to do a bit of a refresh on my 1971, D-Jet stock car, (new vacuum hoses, valve adjustment, etc.) and I would like to pull out my AAR valve and inspect it closely (or replace with a known good one I have) but I am fearful on how to disconnect the AAR wire to the white wire. Its encased in what looks to be stock plastic rectangular wire cover, but figured I would ask for advice before I do any damage. Thanks in advance. Best, Reg |

That's a common in-line spade connector. Don't pull on the wire itself, but get a long nose pliers and pull on the metal part of the spade connector that is just inside. You can separate it from either side. |

Here's a picture of a 3-way, but same idea. Carefully pull on the crimped part.
