[QUOTE="Blk91stang, post: 16341760, member: 23906"] I wired my 69 Camaro Painless with their Drag Harness initially via uninsulated connectors, crimp, solder, and heat shrink except for the quick disconnects which I used a single crimp ratcheting tool from Amazon (Ancor Brand) and insulated quick disconnects. Some thoughts about this... - Add a drop of oil to the quick connectors so they come back apart again. They seem to stick together almost too well. - I'd buy all the connectors from McMaster to ensure you're getting a good quality connector (T&B or 3M brand, I have always gotten 3M from them). - There should be no issue using simply a good crimp and no solder as solder isn't used say on Airplanes or in commercial environments, BUT they also use a many thousand dollar MIL Spec crimper for the connections. Adding just a touch of solder after crimping should ensure it won't come back apart. This is assuming you are buying non insulated connectors (ring, butt, etc). The quick connectors are not solderable, so buy a good ratcheting crimper. I've been happy with the ancor brand for $50 off Amazon. [/QUOTE]
