Am I correct in that the gauge size is Uncategorized Groups and where is the best source for butt splice connectors?

yeah, that “Uncategorized Groups” thing came up in a post I made yesterday. I edited it to what I intended but it’s strange to see it again…maybe it has something to do with a “#” sign. Mine was “#6” originally and it looks like baws is asking about a wire gauge number…Originally posted by lfmTR4 View PostComment

It's the stock, 45 degree angle fitting for the stock starter/solenoid connection. I'll see if I can post some pics for this whole "adventure in Lucas Land"Originally posted by lfmTR4 View Post

The crimper tool I got off Amazon looks like a heavy duty bolt cutter except the jaws have adjustable "teeth" for various connectors up to 8 gauge size.Originally posted by tr6harris View Post
I've tried it on a piece of scrap battery cable and that connector ain't comming off!
