[Diy_efi] weatherpack connectors or something like them

[Ben Heidorn]

Why are you restricting yourself to plug in to the MAF, go 4-6inches down 
the harness using a duesche style 6 pin, blanking one of the holes. you can 
pick these up at Crown lift trucks or OKI, probably hyster or yale too but 
these are or competitors so im not sure.
