Are you wiring your hot rod's engine and need some killer weather proof connectors? You're looking for Weather Pack connectors. And here is how you assemble them, step by step.

1.Strip the wire about 3/16".

2.Select the correctly sized seal and slip this over the wire's insulation. It should fit kind of snug on the wire so it will not try to slip when you crimp it.

3.A high quality Weather Pack Crimping tool is very important for a good crimp. This tool is, as far as we can tell, 100% identical to the actual Delphi tool. In direct comparisons I can't tell a difference. Cheap tools just don't seem to cut it so I wouldn't scrimp here.

4.Notice this terminal positioning block on the back side of this crimper, that will be key to a perfect crimp. It's also a ratcheting style crimper which helps to make sure you crimp the terminal with the proper amount of force.

5.Slip the already stripped wire and seal assembly into the terminal. The smaller portion of the seal should be inside the tangs of the terminal. That way once crimped, the tangs grab the seal and hold it tightly.

6.Squeeze the Weather Pack Connector tool's grip to crimp the terminal.

7.After the terminal has been crimped, the ratcheting mechanism of the crimping tool will release and allow the tool to open, releasing the crimped terminal/wire.

8.Now you can poke the crimped terminal/wire/seal assembly into the back side of the WeatherPack housing.

9.Once you've inserted the terminal properly, you will feel it 'click' into place, and it will not pull back out easily due to the retainer tangs. To remove the terminal that this point you need a Weather Pack Removal tool (included in our larger kits) which makes it very easy to remove the terminals.
