Hi guys,
I've been working on the last troublesome issues getting a tachometer
reading out of my EIS and the spark plug wire sensing UMA Tach gage.
Neither indicates rpm. Everything else is fine. I used knife splices in the
thought that testing a coil occasionally or replacing one would make the knife
splice a good idea. But after removing the shrink wrap, I find the joint
lacking a grip, even a little shakey. Found some bullet splices and some
push on tab types, but not sure of the quality of these either.
Better ideas or recommendations on this anyone.

I crimped mine with non-removable joints...The hassle to re-crimp was small
to me.

I never liked those knife splices, they always seem loose. Butt splices are
fine and so are the spade connectors but make sure you use AMP PIDG type and
a good crimper. Don't bother to use the automotive style, they are junk.
see aeroelectric.com and terminaltown.com (those addresses are guesses but I
think they're right). terminal town has a good page on PIDG crimps and both
places sell them and good crimpers. also alliedelec.com or digikey, newark,
technit tools, etc. I used a ton of colored heat shrink too, bought a full
kit. makes everything neater and better.

Butt splices here to Larry. They are very tight if done correctly. I've
tried to take several apart after I made mistakes ... forget it, you need to
cut them off.
