Roger, this is the crimp tool I use to get the proper, compact crimp to allow the pins to fit into the connector housing. Unfortunately, there isn't a brand name on the tool and I've had it for so long that CRS prevents me from remembering where I got it. I noticed the tool still has the white paint dots on the dies I used on my last wire job (I told you I had CRS ). I also have a ratcheting crimper that I use for Deustch connector pins (it has Volvo stamped on it). Summit sells a reasonable copy of an MSD ratcheting crimp tool that works very well. I believe it comes with dies to crimp spark plug wires, you will have to get the appropiate set of dies for the type of connector you're using separately.
