OK guys - we have some very talented people here and I'm hoping to bring my wiring skills up a level.
What separates amateur wiring from a pro level? One item that comes to mind - no use of Harbor Freight connectors (which I am guilt of). What else comes to mind? |

I learned a lot from this site. I'm kinda an advanced amateur. ....Soldering should not be used in an automotive strand wire application. Why Not? |

Why Not? I completely disagree with the comment about not soldering the wires. That is an old wives tale. If you take a close look at a factory 914 harness, you will find that every connection on it is soldered. When I rebuilt the DME harness for the 4.0L motor, every connection on it was soldered when I disassembled it. If you do it right, soldering the connections is a very good, reliable connection. |
