it may seem like I half-ass stuff, looking at how I used a drill to cut my first LS/Fiero adapter plate, but I don't drive my cars with half-ass anything in them. Yes, it takes a long time to solder correctly, and it is a hassle to do it both nicely and safely at the same time.
My next question then, is why do your old ones need replaced? Maybe that's not fair of me to ask, as my Fiero is low mileage and well caerd for, and I haven't yet gotten to that part of my swap.
Thanks for putting up with me.

Modern emissions-controlled vehicles have extremely hot engine bays. The connectors don't hold up very well. They tend to crack and fall apart.Atilla the Fun wrote:it may seem like I half-ass stuff, looking at how I used a drill to cut my first LS/Fiero adapter plate, but I don't drive my cars with half-ass anything in them.

The pins also wear out if the connectors get removed and reinstalled a lot.
Personally speaking, I have many connectors in my engine bay which seal and connect well, but the retaining clip that holds the connectors together snapped due to heat and repeated removal/installation. I'd love to have a lot less zip ties in my engine bay, and replace a couple connectors here or there every so often.
Alright, for anyone who gives a crap; the Delphi # for the digital EGR plug housing is 12065292. Discontinued, Delphi will make it, but minimum order is 2k pieces.
AC Delco aftermarket # for a pigtail is PT301. There's a few people online who have it listed for $17-$20.
EDIT: Thanks to John at Keefe Performance for the info, and thanks to whichever one of you guys posted a link to Keefe on this site.
