Wiring connectors

Looking for a source for the original style 4 pin and 4 pin to 2 pin connectors that are under the platform on a 190 XT. These are for the lights, flasher, fuel tank sending unit, auxiliary plug, etc. Are the Delphi type connectors what I should use? Thanks for any and all advice.

I have bought The Packard connectors from delcity.com. They are the original GM connectors through the 70's. I also bought original type connectors for my 7010 that they did not have from Mouser electronics.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen, I'll check it out!

There are packard type 56. There is a type F crimper that is used to crimp them on. If you only need to do single wire crimps you can get a crimper for 20 or so. If you need to do doubles then the set of crimper to do it is 150 from American auto wire.

Your all wrong. The original OEM pin type connectors are Molex. They are the worst for corrosion and flickering lights as they age. When I build my new harnesses, I use the 56 series Delphi connectors as a replacement. Main reason is better contact between two flat surfaces than round pin type surface. Also, the Delphi plugs once they're made up, a little dab of Dielectric grease in each male/female plug, and you have a super connection with the protection to keep Mother Nature out. I stock Packard/Delphi plugs and connectors up to an 8 way plug.  HTH

The 14 gauge wire for lighting is fine. By the time the 190XT came out, the wiring systems were much improved (size wise) over the "D" series and earlier wiring. Upgrading the wiring is a great idea especially on the circuits that carry a larger load such as the charging side of the system, Starter circuits, and upgrading the power feed circuitry in and around the dash is a plus. If you upgrade to an internal regulated Alternator, you can loose the external Voltage regulator. If you do that, and you upgrade to a "SI" series Delco Alternator, run the #2 voltage sense wire to a Voltmeter in the dash and use the Voltmeter + as a junction to branch off a few feed circuits. This way the VR in the Alt can monitor the current usage better and keep the Batteries happy also. With a Voltmeter, you can monitor the charging system much easier and its also safer than the OEM Ammeter.   HTH   BTW, they do make crimp connectors for 12ga wire. I have bins full of em'.......
