Swedish term or phrase: bläcket
Montera kabel A som kommer från tändspolen på det översta bläcket på stoppknappen.

From a manual for a chain saw, thus not meaning 'ink'. I'm guessing 'plate'?

plate
Explanation:
You are quite right. It should really read "bleck" (which both means tinplate and any metal plate). This is a rather common spelling error.
