[DeTomaso] How bad are electrical splices?

[Jeff Detrich]

You could even mount them both right next to each other so switching would
be just a matter of changing the wires.

   You could even mount them both right next to each other so switching

     A  A Hi all
     A  A I'm changing my MSD 6AL to see if my engine problems are
     ignition
     A  A related. While doing this, I have an idea that will make my
     life easier
     A  A both now and later, but I don't want to create new problems for
     myself.
     A  A Some of the connections are deep in the engine bay, or have to
     pass
     A  A through the firewall (my box is located behind the passenger
     seat). The
     A  A easiest would be to cut the wires in the passenger compartment
     and
     A  A install some plugs, such as those shown in this photo. This
     would be
     A  A easiest now, as well as if I were to ever have a failure on a
     roadtrip.
     A  A Changing the MSD box could be as easy as unplugging the
     existing
     A  A connections and plugging the new ones. 5 minutes and I'd be
     back
     A  A underway.
     A  A Is there any good reason NOT to do this? It seems kind of
     kludgy and
     A  A introduces one new splice in each wire, but it would make life
     A  A easier... thanks!
