the male connector (which has female pins), some delphi GT connectors were designed to be replacements for Metri-pac pull to seat connectors.
That's a good tip, I didn't know about that.
Among the other Metri-Pack 150.2 pull-to-seat connectors found in the Fiero, the V6 ignition module uses the 150.2.
The snap clip on its connector broke off (old brittle plastic), so I cut the wires shorter to put on another Metri-Pack 150.2 pull-to-seat.
I thought to myself, this isn't so good if every time I service the connector the wires get shorter. I don't leave service loops in my car like I do on my house.

That being said, I have not investigated the current capacity of these connectors.
Current capacity roughly goes with the width of the blade.
Do you have the Delphi/Aptiv pdf catalog? Current ratings can be found in the catalog.
Glad I could provide a useful tidbit. both the metri-pack 150, and GT 150 connectors use 1.5mm blade widths, so I imagine the capacities are comparable. I don't have a catalog.

photo dump in progress.
unpacking:
an assortment of shinkboot, some silicone grease, and a bit of solder is included.
for some reason, they couldn't provide the same color wires inside and outside of the tank, but there's only one thats different (purple vs gray)
the wire itself appears to be high quality.
the connector
it's worth noting that the internal plug can be inverted be careful to make sure your wire designations are what you think they are. the lock plate can be installed either way as well.
the part has an inspection sticker on it, with clearly legible data.
I haven't got around to doing anything with it yet other than pictures, I'll provide further information when I get it put together. FWIW, if you have an earlier car, this is what the tank connector looks like, I suspect it has a higher capacity than the later connector.
