Put the info on connectors I use on your linked page. Not cheap, runs about $30-40 for all the pieces to make a complete plug/recepticle, but very neat, corrosion resitant and have a gasket making connections water proof enough to work fine on my boat.

I replied to your other thread. As Greg mentioned, they're waterproof and make for a clean install. I used the gold-plated pins and sockets for corrosion resistant as well.

http://www.newark.com is who I used for the ITT/Cannon connectors, socket/plugs, and tools.

Monty
If it were not too much trouble, would you list the part numbers from Newark that you needed? Also whose electric fuel pressure gauge are you using?
Thanks

No trouble at all.

The fuel pressure guage is an Autometer Ultra-Lite 0-100psi, PN: 4363 (10-4363, $188 from Jeg's).

I used a ITT/Cannon Trident Ringlock 48 contact plug and receptacle. there are many other plugs/receptacle with differing numbers of contacts if you don't need that many.

The Newark.com part numbers are:
Plug - 93F8983
Sealed Receptacle - 93F89019

I chose to use gold plated pins and sockets for corrosion resistance, but tin plated pins/sockets are also available for a couple dollars less.

14 gauge pins - 93F9080 (I used the 14g for the injector wires since they are high amp, low impedance)

14 gauge sockets - 93F9081

16-18 gauge pins - 93F9078
16-18 gauge sockets - 93F9079

You'll need an extraction tool as well to remove any pins/sockets as necessary, part number - 93F9148. A GM Weatherpack extractor will also work if you already have one. This tool costs about $12, while GM Weatherpack tools can be bought at most autoparts stores for a couple of dollars.

I also bought a crimp tool, part number - 91F1742, for about $52 but a regular pair of electricians crimp pliers will work equally as well and cost much less if you don't already have some.
