alex 18 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 I need to make a coil to distributor wire and purchased a couple of terminals (http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BWD0/CT509/N0607.oap) and distributor boots (http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BWD0/CT512.oap). I ran into an issue when I realised I have no idea how to crimp this particular terminal to a wire. I could not find any instructions online either. Anyone have an idea? 6 napedVem, vapedVem, zapedVem and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 While those are easy to use, wouldn't an eye terminal and nut be easier to make? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 I always prefer using the correct crimping tool like in this video but this guy uses a cheap tool that Accel makes in this video (Here is a link to the tool I found) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 Well Alex just looking at the picture; put the boot on the wire, strip the wire to the correct length, put the bare wire into the fitting, feed it through until it hits the stop, crimp/solder the fitting closed on the wire, pull the fitting back into the boot and bend to fit the right angled boot. Have you got a boot ? Brian not my thumbnail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 I have those style crimpers with removable jaws. It came with 9 different crimping jaws to doe pretty much anything. I redid every single wire connector when I swapped to the American Autowire harness (as well as ignition wires) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted February 6, 2017 Those are nice. I like the idea of multiple jaws. Who makes them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 I think I paid around this price, you can find it cheaper on ebay that most other places. MSD sells the same exact set with only 1 die for $90 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-RATCHETING-TERMINAL-CRIMPER-TOOL-9-dies-wire-crimping-tools-terminals-/322113764714?hash=item4aff79fd6a:g:msMAAOSwAahXPWys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
