The bulkhead socket that connects the wiring between the inside of the car and the engine bay is falling out. It is a 1972 Duster. I think at least one of the fasteners is broken off. How do I fix that?

The best solution would be to find another bulkhead connector, unplug each connection and plug it into the new bulkhead connector; easy to do with the right tools. Mopar reused the same plastic housing for many cars and many years, but varied what-goes-where from time to time. Maybe the people who make repo connectors can sell you just the plastic.

NAPA (grudgingly) sold me the replacment pins for that type of bulkhead a couple of years go, but I had to nag them a bit.

I guess the cable assemblies plug in on both sides of the connector? I know the ones on the engine side of the firewall do. I didn't look that close on the inside of the car.
