When using the plastic tool to insert the contact into the connector, if you need to remove that contact for some reason (mis-pinned, wiring changes) the white side of the tool is for removal. Not for every connector, but it's worth trying it in your connector before you try using a pick that may damage your connector. The pins/contacts you use are usually available in bulk. Using the connector part number, google for different suppliers. Some suppliers, not all, will have links on the connector page to the contacts needed and some even have links to associated tooling. I think Digikey is one of the ones that has good info on their connector pages, sometimes even links to the manufacturer's data sheets.
I agree, there was a guy that had a bad crimp on his fuel pump. When the car would leave it, the pump would shut off. 6 months he had the issue til he found out the problem.
Great video man! Thanks. I have a question though. I notice you did not twist the wire strands before crimping a pin or terminal end on. Is that not recommended? It always seemed to me to give a more secure connection.
Great Video!! Any chance you can share the tools you use? I have a good selection of wiring tools but I’d like to see the brands and part numbers of the ones you used.
With Calcium Chloride and road salt invading terminal harnesses use 3M Scotchkote FD . A coating designed for underground electrical slices . Expensive however works well !
You don’t use underground wiring coatings on automobile wiring harnesses. They made proper wiring, heat shrink and connectors that can withstand harsh road conditions. Tefzel wiring, Raychem DR25 heat shrink, Deutsch, Amphenol, and Autosport connectors. In certain cases that you need to seal up branches in harness, electronic modules, cannon plug back shells and certain connectors is a specific potting compound. High voltage, low voltage and automobile wiring are all different types of wiring that require different techniques and item specific materials to accomplish connection points and transmission of power.
Not well explained. How do I know the gauge of a wire? Would love to know where to obtain that wire-stripping tool, none of those I've ever bought have been any good.
$1000 worth of crimp tools plus the wire and connectors, then your making connections yourself. Sometimes it’s worth having a professional wire your car.

Nice job on the video! Nice refresh for myself! thanks for taking the time to share.
Great video! Would love more wiring vidoes!
Great informational video!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos !!!
Ive been using Deutsch connectors for years on Ponsse forestry machines, so it's cool to see them finally transition to automotive.
Would be nice to post the links of the tools used
Seriously
Or atleast specific names of such
JRReady Deutsch crimper, Iwiss weatherpack/open barrel crimper. Amazon has all of them.
Racespec has most of the tooling
If you feel the need to make a comment like this you shouldn't be using them.
I think a video on type of wire that is used/recommended. All tools and links to purchase? Sizing wire gauge for what its used for?

I would love to see a video on setting up caltrac bars especially since Doug's car is still using leaf spring and radials.
Great video. Thanks

More wiring videos would be great. Please add a link ,or at the least, a generic description of the tools required. Many thanks.
Links for the tools? I take it those are iwis crimpers?
I spent 180 for aeromotive fuel pump hard wire kit. I thought I was getting something like this. But nope!

Most automotive wiring jobs are billed at 80-120 hours of labor. Depending on the labor rate some folks can make sense of it.
You need to put your mustang behind you, not that junky CHEVY !!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
