So which die do I need? On a side note I wonder how many people rig this ****.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

huh?

WTF is a die?

Maybe he means like a tap and die???

and this has to do with GM connectors how? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

um i dunno. they do have a couple special tools to pull the pins out of the connector, lol i dunno what they are called

i can imagine some people calling the crimping components dies, when you crimp the connector properly it conforms to the shape of the die almost like cold forging (in a die).



He's probably asking what die is the right one for the haltech connector pins, I'm pretty sure you can just go buy a weatherpak crimp tool that has all of them in it, but it's not the cheapest thing out there.



I grabbed a crimp tool @ pep boys that does the weatherpak stuff 'good enough' but not perfectly, though it was like $8.



a 'proper' crimp tool with the dies would be for example this one:

you guys have never heard of a die before?

yeah as in "tap and die" or "die you ******* bastard"

but never associated with electrical work

lol, ditto?

die:

n 1: small cubes with 1 to 6 spots on the faces; used to generate

random numbers [syn: {dice}]

2: a device used for shaping metal

3: a cutting tool that is fitted into a diestock and used for

cutting male (external) screw threads on screws or bolts

or pipes or rods





It's a generic term, not exclusive to or of electrical work.



learn something new every day I guess?
