Yeah they did a nice job of it, too bad I'm revising some I'm cutting all the useless wires now after all, heck with their warranty. Installing a single wire connector at the sender too, only costs around $250 for tools and materials (cough!), good crimpers are pricey.

Spoke to a guy says cut them at the gutter, but I opted for off the RH head somewhere before interrupting existing HEI wire. Including the anti diesel The supplied 1/2"? insulator slides right through, extra tape too. For what worth seems this is "what's needed" beyond connectors & housings...

Factory Electrical Non Adhesive Wiring Harness Friction Tape OEM C NOS OE

Connect at the nail head temp. sender: 5x Delphi Metri-Pack 56 Series 1 Pin Connector Male, Female Terminal 18 20 AWG

High Temperature Resistant Automotive Wiring Harness Tape, 3/4"

Can't speak for other crimpers, just know these work for most terminals: American Autowire 510587

WOVEN FABRIC WIRE WRAP

I think these should remove the housings: PICO Wiring 0660PT. If not there's some kit with a million pieces for about 5 bucks.

Reason why the gauge sender is supposed to be on the LH head or option I suppose https://www.ebay.com/itm/252986062723

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
