Junction Block Ideas???

OK, I inherited this car with an MSD ignition, leftover Duraspark wiring, on board regulator wiring for the alternator....and who knows what....

This particular "hot" connection was all screwed or plugged together on a little standoff, which was then tie wrapped to a water hose! All exposed to errant wrenches and stuff happening......!

There are ring eyelets and spade connectors, some original DeT and others are added on.

I really don't want to cut off the original connectors on factory wiring....bugs me.....but I want something that is secure and safe from "creating sparks and excitement" in the engine compartment!!!

***OK after looking at the picture again....it would appear the thing about cutting off the original connectors has already sailed....those don't look very original at all!***

What have you used or seen? My local electronics salvage/junk store is now a pile of ground concrete..... Frowner Which is where I would normally go to find great left over stuff from the space program...and my old jobs, to resolve this! Smiler

Here is a pic of the problem that I want to work on today....

I figure:
A) putting it on the little "panel" on the firewall is a good idea...
B)protecting it from "unintended touching"
C)easy to access/test
D)won't melt with engine compartment temps near headers!
..all are desirable goals!

Perhaps what I have is really fine...just need to encapsulate it??? Old microwave plastic food box? Snuff can (plastic!)....?

Maybe just put some heatshrink on the spades as a starter....

Here's the bugger....
Thanks!
Steve
