Hi Bobby,

They are crimp connectors.  I've attached the crimp instructions I send
out with the connectors (usually).  If I didn't send you a sample
crimp, let me know and I will send one out.  

The 6 and 8 pin connectors used on the LS-1 Harness are the same series
of connectors as the D580 coil connectors so they use the same crimp.

Crimping the D580 connector pins.

I use a fairly expensive crimper made for theses pins.  I've included
a sample crimp to show what a good crimp should look like and a couple
of extra pins and to practice on.  The crimp needs to be made fairly
close to this for proper seating of the pin in the connector body.
  
The wire crimp can be made with a GC/Waldon crimper using the B
opening.  If there is any question of the crimp quality, add a little
solder to the connection.  Be sure the solder doesn't flow back into
the front of the pin and doesn't have any protrusions.  The seal crimp
should be round.  I've done this crimp with long nose pliers by
carefully rolling the tabs around the seal.

Also, sometimes when crimping, the pin gets bent a little.  It must be
straight to fit into the opening properly.  I hold the center of the
pin just in front of the wire crimp and push on the crimp area with my
finger to straighten it.

When pushing the pin into the socket, push on the seal rather than
pushing on the wire.  Otherwise, the seal will sometimes slip out of
the crimp.

Use white seals for wire dia. of 0.063 (1.60) to 0.085 (2.15) in (mm)

Use red seals for wire diameters of 0.080 (2.03) to 0.112 ( 2.85) in (mm)
