I am merely the increasingly unreliable narrator of events far grander, brought forth by powers much, much older , than such trinkets and baubles built by the folly of man.

Hmm, did not realize such a thing existed. Need to pick one of those up for the bug, since it's getting a full wiring harness. Screw dealing with 60 year old wire, nuke it from orbit and start fresh.

Sounds like my 68 I built in high school back in 92. Every wire on that car was either burned or the same color.

Until the M21 overheats a little bit and cracks the head in new and exciting ways...they ALL crack eventually. Vixen is still an amazing RV even with the questionable engine.

Have a friend in MN that collects/hoards those things. He has one that's restored to concourse quality for when he feels like winning a car show with an RV.


Don't forget it has a pop top

Nah I need to get the AMX running so I can sell the Camaro and use it as my daily while I work on the Honda. And also figure out which one will make it to Nebraska in a month.

So Honda yesterday.

Fall fell.



I discovered the terminals push themselves out of the connector shells if you mate them together, but dig in so hard they suicide  off the wires as a last ditch effort to half rear end literally the only job I expect them to be able to ever do.



These were done with my old lovely crimper I thought was doing the job good enough, but somehow wasnt.



The open hardware tray slid off the roof, tumbling into an even split across the curb and thoroughly distributing all contents into either the dead wet grass, the gutter, or the passenger floorboard. The juggling act made me to reach to save it, instead managing to lay out my Gatorade with a Haymaker left cross, which dumped on the cigarette pack, glasses slipped off my nose into the engine bay, and then i burned myself with the lit cigarette. Moments later a bald man hit me in the back of the head with a broom handle he happened to be carrying as he walked by. That's about where I packed my tools up for the day.

Don't even get me loving started on what the painters did.

Actually before I say a solid yes or no, why do you want it? Same reason I do? Or for another purpose. And can we get Kastein involved.

If you use your new ratchet crimper and get the wire insulation properly centered in the inner crimp on an un-insulated terminal then those cables will be going nowhere!

I did the same as you and spent ages working with a lovely manual crimper only to find that they all fell apart the first time I unplugged something in anger. Now that I have a proper ratchet crimper they dont go anywhere.
