Pins
Ed,
Well, I checked my coil connectors and
couldn't see any little ribbed red rubber thingies. It has one big blue
ribbed seal around the outside that seals the entire plug in the hole, and
another on the backside that all four wires go through. So, don't bother
sending the little seals. If the pins are different and I can't use
them, I'll return them to you.
Thanks,
Mark

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,
- 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?

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

that slip over
