when i switched to comcast for my phone, internet, and tv, i saved a bunch over the separate monthly bills.
however, scotchlok type of connectors were used inside the house on the phone wiring.
those things gave TERRIBLE reception, and i had comcast here on trouble shooting calls quite a few times.
i finally gave up on those guys and redid ALL of the phone connections BACK to the old fashioned square blocks with the four screws attaching the phone wires.
the phones work like they SHOULD now !
i hope you can see why i'm not a fan of the scotchlok connectors.
just my opinion. your mileage will vary !

I use those connectors for many years using the Scotch lock crimpers, I've seen more than one Tel.Co employee crimp them with thieir nine inch pliers, NOT GOOD
The pliers do not force the blades in the connectors to seat evenly on the wires which can end up creating a high resistance connection which will end up causing problems with noise and no connections sometimes

want to come to Pa. when i need phone service ?
just kidding !

Should be able to find someone local.. Plenty of guys around here wire whole cars with scotch-locs and electrical tape. Just get a big roll of red wire at the auto parts and git-r-dun.

Just rewired our dragster with Duestch connectors throughout. IMO just a little cleaner than Weatherpacks, but we have used them plenty on the past, but can get bulky sometimes

I like and use a Brady BMP21 wire labeler most of the time with white nylon/black letters tape, but they make self laminating labels too, they also make shrink tube labels but they can be troublesome.

I have a Brady also and being able to do the shrink tubing is slick and makes working on the car much easier.

Al do you know the max wire size for a Duestch connector? Weatherpack spec goes to #10 wire which is handy at times.

A #12 Deutsch will hold a 10 gauge wire. They are available in 2 and 4 pin though. But I cannot imagine what on a racecar would even need a 4 pin 10 gauge wire

Two 27 amp fans....(Street/strip car)

The best one ever was my buddy's '65 Mustang that was wired entirely in yellow wire. It was hilarious trying to troubleshoot anything until he finally ripped it out.

The price of admission for Deutsch - including parts, tools, etc - causes some to have second thoughts. Expensive tools to do your car and then throw them in the tool box.

Maybe you need better quality wire....

Well we all know I have had many cars and will have more not to mention the work we do for others. Yep its not the cheap way out but neither is a Bryant crank when a Callies crank will do or why bother there when an Eagle does the same thing

I'm going to have to dig out one of my old college books on direct current to get the formula to figure out what size gauge wire is proper (maybe use the next gauge bigger for insurance) to use to wire my new drag car

Cab, will this work for you ?


i need to try again...........

Here is a chart on wire usage
