plug terminals

Post by I500 »

Does anybody know where these terminal connectors can be purchased and am i using the correct name. I thought i bought some a few years back at a car parts place but when i went back they had no idea, Fastenal maybe? These connectors are on many sleds including the Liquifires. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I believe the male terminal is a packard 56 series. Ive googled them but have never bought any.

Chuck,
Those numbers refer to the wire size. You would have to determine that with a pair of wire strippers that have indexed grooves in the them.
