Ed,
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?

disassembly as

try.

- From looking at the component pieces, you may also need the
individual pin

tail of

damaged/compressed. I

- Give me your snail mail address and I will try to get 26 pins
out by

slip over
- the 4 coil terminal pins in the recessed part of the coil.
