1227747 to 16197427 Adapter Plug?

[dave w]

I've removed the connector from a 1227747 ECM. I'm looking for some ideas on how to connect / solder the wires to the pins? Is there something like a solder ferrel?

Thanks,

Dave, what I did was use the connectors from the 7747 and just plug them into the back side of the connector.

I use crimp style female DB9 (computer) pins, to attach wires to the ECM connector pins. Crimp and solder to the wire, then solder to the pin. Best way I have found to do this yet.

I did make a '7747 to '7730 adapter once, where I just soldered the wire directly to the pins, and it worked well, just didn't seem to have the strength of using the DB9 connectors.

I always liked Six Shooters way... until I saw Jims way!

Take a look at 0411 PCM connector pins, I think they will fit like Six Shooters way.

Thanks everyone for the ideas, that's what I needed help with. The vehicle pic where the adapter will be installed.

I did it the way I did because of how easy it was. I went to the junkyard and cut off pigtails from a 7747 and an 8625. Then instead of repining connectors, I just soldered wire to wire to make the correct connections. I tried soldering the connector, but wasn't happy with the results. I also made the pigtail long so that the ECM could sit on the seat while I was tuning.
