Here is the topic is for wiring questions. All the wiring harnesses need shortening and terminal replacement in various areas. I use a terminal tool (only available from Metric Man? through NAPA or another jobber). One of the eyelet terminals we use needed to be hogged-out with a rat-tail file (metric eyelet, too small for SAE posts). If you don't order a terminal kit from Metric Man, then find something better than the blue-collar (crimp-with-a-pair-of-pilers) terminals. They'll drop a wire and cause a fire. Old Bill used blue crimps on my first Pan, saying, "My blue-crimps have never released a wire!!". Well, one did. Under the dash. Primary wire. Caused smoke and panic.
Here's the newly found Metric man tool and terminals. Affordable. They are sold retail through SoCal Imports (562) 633-9731, L.A., CA. SoCal doesn't have them in stock yet, but tell SoCal that the ETL-1 Crimper and ECX-43 (9/64" about 5/32") and ECX-44 (14/64" about 1/4") terminals are imported from Germany by SoCal's supplier Nighsco Supply in Corona, CA.
