The guy making my tach filter, and others for Forum members needs a picture/ scematic of the ends. The stock schmatic shows ends made from Packard Industries which is out of business. If someone has a picture of the connection ends please post. See his e-mail below.

I sourced the resistors and capacitors but I am unsure
of the connectors. I tried to source the ends per the
GM print but Packard no longer sells those ends. If I
had a few owners that could help me with this it would
help me figure out which way to make them. I may be
able to use standard electrical ends like I use for the
Fieros. But I need a few owners to help me with that.
If you can send me a few owners that could help me with
some R&D I can move forward on this.

Hope this helps.

 

Also, check out this link, it may help. I have not needed to do this yet but, if you find them let me know. http://www.connectors-ez.com/EZ/conn...ry&ppn=0048158

 

What! Who is making the filters? Did I miss placing my order?

 

Randy's e-mail/ phone number is above.

I think on that home made one the guy took the original
ends off his old OEM tach filter and reused them. The
ground is a common electrical end though. If you can
get these ends from a auto parts place that would make
this much easier. I don't think that is the case
though. But possibly I can substitute common electrical
ends like I use on the Fiero tach filters. If I can
find some owners to help me verify this I can move
forward on this. I have the parts sourced and I could
make them with no ends also and let owners come up with
their own ends but I would rather sell a plug and play
type.

I called a few places that sell Packard stuff then I
called Packard themselves and I had no luck in finding
the ends with the part numbers listed on the GM tach
filter spec sheet that was posted on the forum. These
ends possibly may exist somewhere from another
manufacturer. The trick would be to find them. My
disadvantage is I have no original tach filter or
original wiring harness it plugs into.

I have not ordered the parts yet as I am unsure of the
ends. Possibly I can order some parts and make some
with no ends for now. If there is interest in that I'll
go ahead with that. I could have some done in a 2 weeks
or so. Price would be less. Maybe $20 for no ends.

Thanks
Rodney

 

Anyone interested in ordering with me, send an IM;

David;

I'll order the parts today. Hopefully they will be here
in a few days or so. I'll let you know when I have some
ready. I can make up a few quick. I'll send one N/C for
R&D. Send an address.

Here are the connections.



The distributor end (brown wire) is very loose so I Bubba/siliconed it.

Thanks Paul. Will forward to Rodney.

 

Those connectors can be ordered from GM.
