GM 8-Way Coil Bank Connector Kit — Receptacle Side — Motorsport Wiring Connector Kit
The 68118 is a complete connector kit for 8-way receptacle (harness side) for GM coil bank ignition connector on GM V8 and V6 engines using an 8-way coil bank connector where the receptacle (harness) side requires replacement or new harness fabrication. This kit contains the housing, terminal contacts, and any sealing or locking components needed to fabricate or repair a complete 8-way receptacle (harness side) for GM coil bank ignition connector circuit connection, providing an OEM-compatible or application-specific interface that mates correctly with the target device.
Application Context
The receptacle side is the harness-side connector of the GM 8-way coil bank assembly, wired to the ECU coil driver outputs and power supply circuits. Having the correct receptacle connector available avoids the need to salvage the connector from a donor vehicle and ensures a clean, reliable crimped harness joint rather than a spliced repair.
Why Use Correct Application-Specific Connector Kits
When fabricating a race car harness or repairing a motorsport wiring loom, using the correct connector for each sensor, actuator, or ECU interface is essential for both reliability and serviceability. Non-matching connectors require modification or adapters that introduce additional connection points, increase harness complexity, and may produce a mechanically insecure fit that loosens under vibration. Purpose-specific connector kits provide the exact housing geometry, contact type, and locking mechanism designed for the target device, ensuring a vibration-resistant, sealed connection that will remain reliable through a racing season.
Kit Contents
Each connector kit includes the plug or receptacle housing, crimp contacts rated for the circuit wire gauge, and any wedge locks, seals, or secondary locking components included in the original connector design. All components needed to build the harness-side connector assembly are included.
Typical Build Applications
This connector is used for GM coil bank harness-side connector fabrication and repair, ignition circuit harness building for GM V8 engine swap and race applications, and ECU coil driver circuit wiring using the receptacle-side connector of the GM 8-way coil bank assembly. It is a standard component in professional race car harness builds and motorsport vehicle wiring projects across Scandinavia, where correct application-specific connector specifications are a baseline requirement for reliable engine management, data acquisition, and power distribution system wiring.
