how the F do you put the wires in the 2 bar?

[Pete102580]

i know which wires are which... but how the fuck do you get them in there?

i went to the hardware store and dug thru the electrical bins, and ended up with some tiny little alligator clips. im all about afro engineering and troubleshooting would be sweet, but ..... there has to be little connector or something? anything would be better than those stupid clips... talk about a square peg in a round hole....

You need the pins for the connector housing? If it is GM they are weatherpack. Looks like you need pins not sockets.

Step away from the aligator clips.

[Pete102580]

gm or not, i don't know- most all of the 2bars look the same. i ended up getting a mallory. they're more than likely all brand labeled anyway.

where would i get pins?

automotive electrical supply place. ask your local speed shop for one

Summit carries them or you can find them on Ebay or you can take the 2 bar map to the GM dealer, match up the connector and buy the pins from them.

DIYautotune has them. They are a sponsor.

You technically need a crimp tool, but you can do it with needle noses and some patience, then a SMALL dap of solder just in case.

That's right. I think that's the last I heard.
My engine's running great...it's the trans that needs to be sent to M Saine. Not a bad thing though...Hopefully I'll finally fix the part that F%*ks me up every race.
