Eliminates the need for obsolete spade terminals that can fall off and kill your ignition. Color coded to make it easy to identify the tachometer and battery connections. Locking tab and shark fin ensure a tight positive fit and a reliable connection between your wiring and HEI. Made of high temperature plastic rated at more than 250 degrees. Two 10 inch leads for easy installation and a clean connection.

Nice little braid.

Works great with Top Street Performance JM6508BK HEI Manifold. Put it on my old F100 with a splitter for an easy HEI splitter upgrade. So easy that a 5 year old can do it.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Nothing

The wire was not crimped and removed.

The wire was not crimped and moved away. Connector repair took longer. The parts we buy do not need to be repaired just to install them. It finally worked after I fixed it.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Other Other

Fell apart on first use.

When I plugged this into my HEI junction box it pushed out one of the two wires and it couldn't fit back into the plastic connector, I think it's poorly done. I bought two to stock one up for the future and I'm glad I did.

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Looks like a good HEI connector

Looks like a good HEI connector. I have a standard crimp connector and it seems a bit loose. These connectors are made for a reason. Don't rely on a regular connector to get the job done. I've heard of people dying due to engine indecision. The fluctuations were caused by loose or bad connections. BE SURE! NOT DUMB!

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Slightly cracked

Solid Connector - Electrical

Perfect match for my HEI junction box - the junction box has been configured for separate "Batt" and "Tach" connections. Bought this to add an aftermarket speedometer and found it to fit much better and have a more secure fit than the worn OEM connector. This connector comes with a few inches of wire - about 10 gauge on the battery side and about 16 gauge for the tachometer (based on which slot fits my wire stripper, not the actual measurement)

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Clarity
