Your welcome, Mark
Will get them out to you tomorrow. I got
"sidetracked" by the conversion to the 2.85 and 76x88 prop so have not actually
wired my LS1 plugs yet. I intend to crimp - and perhaps solder. You
must crimp (at least the rear part of the pin) the pin to get it to clamp the
socket seal (little multi ribbed red rubber thing) frimly around the wire.
So it appears (without having actually tried it yet) that you would - if
soldering, need to solder the first part of the pin to the wire but leave the
"arms" of the rear of the pin free to crimp around the red seal - just my
opinion at this point since I have not tried it.
Do you feel you need any of the red
seals?

Ed,
Appreciate your generosity. Yes,
these are the female pins. Since you've been through this exercise, is
there anything that you can share on getting these little buggers out of the
connector? Maybe a "special tool" that I can fabricate to make the
process a little easier? I assume that you soldered the wires to the
pins?
Thanks,
Mark

Yes, Mark. I received a
quantity of 50 pins and certainly will not use that
many (hopefully
{:>)). I believe you are correct about the disassembly as
the
parts for the plug do come unassembled. Of course that does
not
necessarily mean they were designed to be disassembled - but one can
try.

From looking at the component pieces, you may
also need the individual pin
seals (red/orange rubber ribbed), they
appear to be clamped by the tail of
the pin so removing the old pin could
find the seals damaged/compressed. I
have 100 of those, so let me
know if you need any.
Give me your snail mail address and I will try
to get 26 pins out by
tomorrow. These are the female pins that go
into the plugs that slip over
the 4 coil terminal pins in the
recessed part of the coil.
