Electrical Plumbing Info

With Gregor's Hyper build also came some good info on electrical parts. I speak of the AMP SuperSeal 1.5 connectors and the tool used to crimp them.

So with Gregor's assistance, I gathered that info so you can use it if that issue comes up. So with that, here it is....

MSD Ignition also makes a tool, but it is not in kit form. If you already have the tool, then purchasing the crimp dies might save you money. $25 each die.

Image not included due to the rules... It's a freakin rubber boot and it looks like the image above.

It's not that expensive to build a kit as Gregor did. My main goal was to find a reasonably priced crimping tool. The high end tool is well over $200! If you want this in the stickies, that would be fine, otherwise search for Electrical Plumbing Info when you forget about this thread in a week!

Great info. Thanks for the post Bill! My shop is actually in the market for connectors and I am going to look into your link.

Thanks, good info to have in the old tool box. IIRC this is the style connector the tail/brake light uses, seems like the turn signals are different. One of my winter projects is the redo the front signal wiring, thanks to the butthead PO and his wire chopping activity.

Posted an update to the Hall of Wisdom post...

Electrical Plumbing AMP Superseal Brochure

Since it contains everything in logical form, I would recommend you download the images for safe keeping.

Fantastic. Thanks for letting us know in the Fighter forum too.

I'll be ordering some of them.

I've done electrical since 82 and have worked for ford, Chevy and cat. these plugs are the top of the line. Chevy as much as i hate them use this type connectors and they in turn have the most reliable harnesses in any vehicle i have worked on.
