All I've ever used is a crimp on female spade end.

Re: HEI Tach Wire Connector

You should be able to get that at any parts store and/or the dealership. All I have ever used is a spade terminal, and it worked flawlessly. No one will ever see it anyway.

Check out this page, about three items down on the left.

I would just print a picture out and take it to a parts store before paying for shipping.

Dude, that website is awesome! My local Napa went out so no source for the old stuff close. That will work great!

Re: HEI Tach Wire Connector

One more if you need the whole wire. This is where I ordered mine from. I looked on the local autparts and local site vendors and couldn't locate the connector anywhere.

I remember finding the connector and a short piece of wire somewhere but don't remember where. The cost was the same as the whole wire from Year One.

Search on these part numbers: L00510 and L00515. My dis came off a 79 Chevy so that's what I used.
