need a/c relay plug

I have a 67 cutlass with factory air. Over the years the a/c relay plug has gotten bad-the one with 3 sockets. Mine has a little burnt spot on it. I wonder if they are available. Can anybody point me in the rite direction?
You folks have helped a bunch with these odd issues. Thanks!

Barney, Can you post a picture of it, I might have one, not sure the condition but if mine matches I'll give it to you. Check with American Auto Wire I'm pretty sure they have just the connectors for sale.

If this is for the high speed blower relay, check with Rockauto.
They have the connector for the 69-72 relay and it might be the same as yours. It is about $3 and shipping.

Thanks for the reply. In a couple of days I'll get a photo to you. Am. wire won't sell me just the plug. The one I need has 3 wires in somewhat of a triangle configuation. The plug is about 1in. x 3/4 in. the side w/2 wires has a yellow and green and the side with the third wire is black. I have a spot behind the yellow wire which is burnt away about the size of the blad that plugs into it. This probably is for high fan speed. This might not be a good enough discription so when the wife gets home I'll send you a photo.
Thanks again.

Alternatively, you can remove the female ¼" spade connectors from the Packard 56 plug housing, clean them up nice and shiny, trim and resolder them to remove any bad bits of the wire right next to the plug (or just put a bit of shrink tubing over the bad parts, if the connections are still good), and snap 'em back together.

Paratrooper- I found the plug for $3 at rockauto-couldn't believe it.
Thanks so much for your consideration.

He has all kinds of repair connectors but I linked to the air condition section.

No prob - just glad I could help!
If all you need is the plastic, you can remove the terminals and reinsert your existing terminals in the same spots if they can be cleaned and shined up.
When I replaced mine, I removed the wires from the terminals of the new part, soldered my original wires to the new terminals and reinserted them into the plastic housing. I just did not want the spliced look...
