All the connections we make to our accessories are gm style weatherpaks. they come in single to 6 pin connectors, and you just need a delphi weatherpak crimper to use them. The engine harness plug at the firewall is called an AMP connector by Tyco, and it uses a special crimper (600 bucks if you buy it new, but you can find them on ebay) The AMP connector has 63 pins, but you cant send amperage through it, so its for signal wires only.
All the power leads run through a 22 pin bulkhead connector that uses weatherpak terminals, from American Autowire.
I will take some closeups for you.
the sleeving is called Techflex. we became a dealer for them and stock spools of all kinds of sizes, inlcuding a real slick split style loom that is braided and overlaps itself. This is great if you cant get the connectors off, or if you have leads exiting the harness everywhere. The non split stuff expands to 300 percent its size to slide over the wires.
Theres a juicy tidbit for you. NO more convoluted plastic loom guys!!!!!!!
