Mini delphi to EV6 adapter or switch connectors?
Mini delphi to EV6 adapter or switch connectors? I plan on running Deka 80lb injectors which have an EV6 (or EV1) style connector. However, I have a 5.3 truck harness, which uses a mini delphi connector.
I was wondering if there is a certain connector that's better than another, since I know some people have said that even small differences in the wire can cause fluctuations in the signal going to the injector.
Would it be possible to simply pull out the pins in the truck harness and swap them into an EV6 connector? That to me would seem like the cleanest and most direct way to adapt the two connectors.

I would doubt the Delphi pins will fit into a Bosch style connector though, so it'd be a case of chopping off the crimped terminal and crimping new ones on for your new connectors.
Always neater than adaptors if you have the wire length to do it. Adaptors are handy though
Do it right.... 
Thanks for the suggestions/info guys.
So fast is a good company to go with for the connectors? What about crimpers, what would be a good set to pick up for this one time use?

I've found these T-10 to be a pretty good and fairly universal crimper.
I have the other two they sell too, but that one is probably the best.
