When splicing your wires back after pulling the blitz, did you solder or crimp. IIRC, a big problem back in the day when everybody was on the blitz bandwagon, people got lazy and crimped their splices and had issues which were resolved by soldering.

BTW, good to see you resurface.

Hmm, that it an interesting note. I have always only ever crimped and heat shrink sealed my automotive connections.

Good to be active again.

It actually just came up the other day in my Facebook memories from “The Barber Garage” that I fixed the wiring a year ago! I’m fairly certain I used crimp connectors because of what Cranky said
