I need to make a harness for my new EFI system.
I'd like to use a small waterproof locking connector, 1 side insterted thru a hole in the firewall from the back and bolted on, the engine side with a matching plug for the entire engine harness.
Back in my Navy days, we used a lot of connectors like that. Some even had different sized terminals, lil bitty ones for 20-24 guage wire, and a few bigger ones for 12-14 gauge wire, all in the same housing.
I want one.
I haven't done an accurate count yet, but I think I'll need 6 heavier wires, maybe 14 or 16 gauge, and perhaps 20 or more lil bitty ones. Fuel pressure gauge alone has 6 24 gauge wires...lol.
I started doing some research, and it seems one must be a brain surgeon just to order this stuff... Figuring out which shell size, seal types, contacts ordered separately, blah blah blah. It makes me wish I could spend 5 minutes in my old radar room with a wire cutter, wouldn't take long to find what I need that way.
As usual, when it comes to brain surgery, I turn to you guys. Can anyone make it easy? We have an account at Newarl Electronics, and they have a several lines of this type of connector, but I can make no sense out of thier online catalog.
