If you have a lot of wires to extend it would be worth it to buy some good quality crimp connectors and the proper crimping plyers. I have quite a bit of wire shortening to do so I bought the stuff and am just looking for the time and gumption to do it.

I have quite a bit of wire shortening to do so I bought the stuff and am just looking for the time and gumption to do it. Right now I only have a couple dozen wires to extend for the delteq. I've looked at those mil spec wire crimpers to build some cannon plug terminals and I can't justify the cost. I can see that it would be worth it if/when I decide to rewire everything. But for now it just doesn't seem worth it. Thanks for the input guys.

In the past ive used resin core solder and heat shrink tubing with electrical tape and wiring loom over it. Is this the correct way? Will it change readings from sensors like the TPS ignition coil because of the rosin core solder?
