Re: Resistance!!

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I to never had to worry about wire resistance before myself but when asked I was stuck for an answer. Anyway after speaking with the tech at Taylor Cable and doing some measuring with .25 clear plastic water tube, (It lays down just like the actual wire.) we determined that I could use a universal set that comes with 135 degree plug ends and 90 degree coil ends to fit female terminals. The wire is 350 Ohms Resistance which is a standard and the kit comes with (2) 33.5, (2) 38, (1) 45.5, (1) 49.5 and (2) 53 inch leads. This should work since the longest run is 43" and the shortes is 18".

As for the crimper, that went for $14.34us from Summit.

I have 21 items left on the list to complete before engine start, with the most involved being the cutting and boxing of the cross member under the headers. I am hoping for engine start in two weeks.

Peter
