[Diy_efi] weatherpack connectors or something like them

Tue Apr 17 02:43:56 UTC 2007

Since one of these cars is an numbers matching vette, I'm trying to not butcher anything at all! the others I would not care about, but since the vette is really the most pesky problem, the reason for the test cable quest!

thanks for the clarification, saves me searching for something that doesn't exist, which I thougth was the case, but my memory was the second thing to go and I can't remeber the first!

cheers
