>One thing. I wouldn't try to use these with a cheap crimper.

If you live in the west you can get one at Frys for >about U$45.00 I've been looking for a set of good crimpers myself. These ones from RS electronics might fit the bill: http://www.rselectronics.com/beta/detail.asp?type_id=3984&commodity_id=34&gr oup_id=122&mfg_id=ECL I'm not certain of what the connector type is called, but they may be the "flag" connectors listed at the bottom. I have a set I bought at a tool store in Italy that makes the standard non-insulated crimps just like the factory. I can't remember the brand name, though. MSD ignition has a good set for ~$45.00 at Summit racing, but the dies are sold separately. They come with dies for spark plug wires. >Now I just have to find someone who sells cable with color coded >conductors by the foot. If you're looking for just hookup wire, www.waytekwire.com or tiewraps.com both have colored wire available with tracers - the little strip along the wire, like black with a white stripe. Checking that out for the "big squareback" - '85 Chevy Suburban tuned port fuel injection project right now. Kind of a sideline from the Type 3's for a while, but when I'm done, I'll end up with the only TPI '73 fastback - at least in Miami... Check it out - they're very similar, and I now have the technology to reprogram GM engine control modules. That's what the CB Performance system is, just using Throttle body injection because they don't have the existing air manifold / fuel injectors on type 1's like we do on type 3's.
