Pretty cool. What was the episode about? How did you get yourself on there?
They're a pretty cool bunch of guys.
They did the frame off restoration on my old man's 1931 Chevy AE Independence stove pot 6
did you actually buy that? or was this your acting debut?

Iv heard of 15min of fame but 3 seconds? You must have mentioned your GP LOL
There's a reason that I drill a hole and rtv seal 2 12gauge wires....metripack 150 (1.5mm) terminals aren't good at higher current
Those terminals are rated for 20 Amps. No way a properly working system, even a high performance one draws that much. There was some catastrophic failure or physical damage. I would check that the rating on the fuse isn't over 15A then throw some dielectric grease on a new connector. Less chance of corrosion and easier to deal with.
I thought it was more to do with space saving. I've run industrial heating at 15Amps 120V thorough the same terminals with no issues. It could have been a massive power surge or a defect in that particular connector but I highly doubt the connector is to blame. Could be wrong, I'm not an expert or anything, just throwing out thoughts
14 amps...... but it's also sort of telling that all of the updates and all of the newer Vehicles use the flat 4 wire Metra pack 280 connectors for all fuel system units..... this kind of sort of tells you that even GM noticed that the 150 suck
Interesting! I wonder how you would change the connector on the fuel pump size wether you'd have to buy a different in-tank module or not. That being said, quote: "any residual damage to the connector mayresult in a voltage drop across the module and can lead to repeat failures." which in means that the connector would have to be damaged in some way to fail that way. However the other connector does look to be a better design. You should be safe with either as long as you inspect the connector to make sure nothing is broken off.
