I'll have to check tonight after work.  I didn't see any little red ribbed thingies in the connector, but I'll look again to be sure.  I'll email you first thing in the morning with my findings. 

Thanks,
Mark

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

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

 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.
