Green wire problem and repair

I have had intermittent complete loss of power while driving my 83 911 SC. It is thought that it is either a fuel or an ignition problem that I have. I spoke to Bob Ashlock the CDI repair box specialty man. He also suggested that it might be a green wire problem. And his specific suggestion was to start the car, let it warm up and get to a good steady idle, and then go and just move the green wire off of the distributor back-and-forth just a little bit to see if it affected the car in anyway. And so I did, and of course after moving the wire slightly back-and-forth the car died. Any specific direction for replacing the green wire on my 83 911 SC? It looks like the green wire comes out of a plastic receiver off of the side of the distributor and up to a male connector opposite the distributor.
