Does anyone have any idea if they still make these connectors or the manufacturer?  I have a good housing, I need the connectors that crimp on the wires. Thanks,
Matt

Yes.  They are available.

Here are some pictures of the tools I use.

The Red crimper is for the run-of-the-mill insulated terminals, and the Yellow Kit has different inserts for all applications.   The Blue one is another tool I purchased.   You need the correct tools for these GM-type terminals for really secure joints.

But, in the meantime, search eBay for Item No.  192501982942
And here is a cheap crimping tool  284454816319

These terminals need the correct tool to perform the proper crimp.

Matt,

If you are referring to the wire female ends connectors just do a search for "Delphi 56 type connectors" these are for the smaller ends the larger one would be "Delphi 59 type".

Good luck..!

Perfect! Thanks you guys, Just what I was hoping for.  I might be able to borrow a crimper from work.   I also noticed I posted this in the wrong spot - sorry!
