The male 56 series terminals have that extra tang at the very bottom and my current crimper just sheers it off. So I am eager to see what you are using that works well the male 56 series terminals.

Sorry this took so long to post but I was trying to load a video off my phone and I couldn't get the video or these pics off it, probably because I am a tech idiot!!!!!
Any ways, here are the Delphi tools we use for the 56 series terminals.....
I have been trying to load a video with no success, I am a tech idiot!!!!!
Last Monday evening I got the wiring finished and everything back together..... I got it running again and it seems to be running pretty good.....
I went to the NMCA race on Saturday, but today I cleaned up the shop some and got the stone guard sanded and primed..... I am going to try and get it painted tomorrow.....
I got the stone guard painted Friday evening, the weather finally allowed me to get it done.....
Saturday I made the repairs needed on the grill, then put the stone guard, front bumper and all braces on..... I also drill the hood for the dzus fasteners.....
Saturday evening I went back down and cleaned the repairs to the grill, masked and painted it..... I also got the seat belts all bolted in in between coats.....
Sunday I unmasked the grill and install all the stainless strips..... I install the grill in the car, cleaned up and installed front parking/turn light assemblies/braces..... Put the wiring plugs on the sockets for the lights..... Bad thing I discovered a very slight coolant leak at the pass side Moroso AN hose adaptor block, so close to driving it( the coolant was draing when I leaft the shop).....
Took the trans out twice last weekend, was still having a small leak issue..... The second time it came out I took it apart to check everything over..... I ordered up a couple pieces I thought would straighten it out.....
Today I got the trans back together and back in..... Finally I think I have cured the leak problem, what a pita..... I also cleaned the rear window/seat area up, vacuumed the carpet and bolted the seats in..... I got the roll bar padding in.....
I did some work on the tune, it seems to idle better and is more throttle responsive then it's been.....
Got to get a few more things done tomorrow and I should be able to start driving it this week.....
Frank...you bad boy....you been holding out on us!

I got the trans leak straightened out last sat, went over a few things on Sun and started driving it on Sun afternoon a little..... I have been driving it since, to work, Biff Burger the bowling alley, pretty much everywhere the last few days..... Just trying to get some miles on it and get everything working properly..... It drives really good, but there a a couple things I need to take care of this weekend.....
I stopped by All American Street Car this afternoon, he took a little video he said he would post for me.....
Well, I haven't had a chance to give any updates for a while..... I did get to drive it for a couple weeks and am pretty happy with the way it ran for the most part..... I was however getting a little glitch with the trans the second week, once it a while at low speeds(like leaving leaving the driveway at the condo or at work) something was dragging or binding..... After some inspection I found it to be an electrical glitch that was sometimes applying the transbrake, it's a relatively easy fix..... The other problem is my converter was entirely too tight..... I got another converter so since I was pulling the trans anyways I figured I better inspect it and sure enough the reverse clutches were starting to surface burn.....
So the trans has been apart since last weekend so I could get some reverse clutches for it..... I also had a slight gear noise in the rearend I didn't like so I tore out the center setion for some inspection.....Nothing appeared wrong, but the backlash was a little tight, for now I think I am going to put a 3.50 gear in it I have laying around for a while..... I know it's probably too much gear in the long run but I plan on just foot braking it for a while and should provide a little better off the line response..... I did get the center section apart, cleaned up and ready to put back together.....
So as of last weekend this is what the car looked like.....
Hopefully I will be able to get it back together this weekend and this converter works out a little better.....
Went down for a while this morning..... Got the gear set up, cleaned up the face of the housing and put the chunk in the housing..... That's about all I could take this morning, I am getting a little old to be wrestling a 9" chuck into a hos=using on my back anymore.....
I might try to get back to the shop later today so I can get a little more done.....
