1968 newport junction block issues

so the junction block on the firewall on drivers side is giving me some issues. theres the red wire that goes to a link then wire on other side of link is blue. when i jiggle those wires the power comes back on. do i replace the whole block or what? just started acting up the other day and was driving down the road and it died. thats when i jiggled wires on that block and power came back.

This sounds suspiciously like the bulkhead connector. PLEASE at least read this article:

Even if you don't do this bypass project, it points up the pitfalls and weakness of the Mopar bulkhead connector. All these old girls are ......well...... getting old.

I would personally suggest this is a good idea to do. Takes a bit of time but worth it in the end.
