This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Question about fuse block packard 56 terminals

    So I’m trying to clean up wiring and cannot find this larger Packard 56 style terminal, I’m guessing it’s called something else? Or the 10 gauge one is just larger. Does anybody know? This is for one of the red 10 gauge wires from the starter

    I'm not sure if this is what your are looking for, but here it is.......

    As a side note, GM dealers received Packard/Delphi terminal kits with the terminals and some connectors in them. If anyone with an older GM car comes across one (auctions, dealer's wanting rid of outdated tools/supplies, etc.) they should grab it up. They were usually kept in the service department with the essential Kent/Moore tools at the dealers I worked for.

    Also, I can't say for sure about the early service manuals, but the service manuals for the mid-80's and later gave the part numbers for terminals/connectors in the electrical schematics.

    im honestly not sure either. Clearly the one in my car is slightly larger than the standard Delphi 56 terminal but I’m also comparing it to a 12-14g terminal. I’ll probably just buy some 10g ones and see if that’s what I’m looking for or not.
