Bob,
Exactly! Thats pretty much what my terminations look like. My truck isn't anywhere close to being stock but I didn't want those big plastic connectors jutting out all over either. I tried to keep all my wiring down low and out of site. All engine connections come up from the bottom and are mostly hidden. I didn't bring the wire harness through the firewall in the factory location, mine comes through down low on the passenger side near my starter.
Rusty,
Just grab a cheapo pistol grip style from Radio Shack. I have one from Radio Shack, an Archer I think, that I bought back in the early 80's. I've never had a problem with it. Heck, I've heard of people having good luck with the real cheapo from Harbor Freight. No sense in spending the big bucks on a Weller if you're not going to be using it everyday.

That's tempting. I'm feeling kinda thirsty and I've never been up your way....if only I didn't have to do this work thing everyday...ugh

I have a weller butane torch that is great and heats up quick but kinda pricey. Hard to beat a weller. If you have a iron and the tip is corrioded then take a damp rag and wipe the tip of it, that should clean it pretty good (thats sounds dirty don't it). I have used solder from Home Depot, Fastenal, and Radio shack with success. Just try to get the flux core solder and be patient.
