Hi, looking for some info on where to find replacement fork type terminals like the original style for the tach lead and starter wires that connect to the terminals on the coil . I notice my wires are bare at least an inch where the insulation has pulled away from the crimp and would like to correct them so the insulation is up to the crimp.

 

Any parts store or hardware store. Common parts, same shelf as the ring terminals. You can also use ring terminals instead of the forks.

 

I believe you will want a non-insulated crimp terminal if you want it to be OE. Like this:


Of course you can probably find a pack of 5 or 10 at the hardware or auto parts store.

 

Those are not correct. The factory crimp terminals for the coil are called flag spade terminals. Brillman sells them, though these are not EXACTLY like the OEM ones.

 

Oh, ok. I knew they weren't insulated terminals. You can even get insulated crimp terminals from Harbor Freight. Although, I like the non-insulated crimp terminals better. The plastic insulation is bulky, especially under heat shrink.

 

The non-insulated part isn't the key. The flag terminal design is the key. The wire comes in at right angles to the spade, not in line. You'll be hard pressed to find these at any common vendor.

 

I checked the link you gave. $.40 for what I @$$ume is 1 crimp terminal isn't hateful. However, you would probably pay $5-$10 shipping on top of that. For a terminal that isn't exactly OE my advice to someone restoring a concurs vehicle would be to simply use a non-insulated spade terminal available at the auto parts store. I agree that you would be hard pressed to find a local supplier for those.

 

cut off the old one,drill it out and solder the wire back in
