You should be able to find the "spade terminal connectors" at the local auto parts house.

Many VOM's have multiple range settings. In that case the setting needs to be changed between reading the primary and secondary circuits.

IMHO that fuel filter concern is over rated. I'd be more concerned about the old style fuel lines being used with our modern ethinol fuels.

Thanks. I ordered a 30 piece variety set of spade terminals from Amazon for $7. Due in Friday. I plan to stop at Napa to get new fuel line for the car today.
