It's still not definitive for fire resistance (factory
"type" doesn't necessarily mean factory equivalent
materials) this one, from the actual anufacturer, looks
much better - except their wire isn't Tefzel, and I can't fine a listing for just the bulkhead halves and the pins.
I'm going to write them.
Also, a little more searching with AltaVista turned up

which offers a double advantage of allowing functional
grouping via separate connector blocks.
There was also a reference to a "C560" bulkhead connector,
as a GM replacement part. I'll have to spend some time
running that one down to an AC-Delco part #.
Can't do it now. Gotta get to sleep while I can. I'm
