87sheerips Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I would like to clean up my DC converted stator along with the pickup wires, lighting, ground, etc. I need a 7 prong plug. I already cut my stock plugs off (4 prong) and just have seperate butt connectors. Any ideas? I need one female and two male plugs. -JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Car quest sells GM style weather pack connectors for about the same price as them. I have been wanting to just build a new wiring harness but it seems cheaper to just buy one and modify it opposed to buying all new wire spools and connectors.

Starwriter Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Here is where to get the stock type connectors in various pin counts. http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/Sealed/sealed.html If you want something that's more commonly available, there's the weatherpack connectors used on GM cars and trucks. http://www.weatherpack.com/ As far as splicing, I wouldn't trust my life to butt connectors. They're great for hooking up car stereos, but for stuff that could leave you stranded, I would only solder and heat shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. Kind of a pain in the ass if you have to pull the stator, but worst case, you pull the terminals out of the plastic holder, feed them through the hole, and then shove them back into the holder.

The Deutsch terminals listed at the bottom of the first link are the best in my opinion.Depending on where you buy them, they come with open barrel terminals as shown in the link or you can get them with closed barrel terms. that require a special crimper(expensive) that will give you a connection that is what the car manufacturers are requiring for ECM wiring. Those Duetsch connectors are water, oil, dust proof, once the terminals are crimped on the wires you can service the connectors with just a screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers. Because they are sealed, they always come apart easily, The only one I ever had problems getting apart were ones that had been in a propane fire on a forklift. Plus, if you do need to get replacement parts, most good NAPA stores can get them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
