David,

    we are at this point talking about the  Metri-Pack connectors (and the
pin/terminals) that plug into the LS1 type coils power and control
connector - not the spark plug leads.  They appear to be becoming pretty
much standard connectors on most modern US automobiles (at least those
produced by GM).  They appear to be well designed and made - individual
sealing of each lead into the plug, so looks like good weather sealing -
but, have not actually used them as yet.

   WayTek had the parts at a very reasonable price.  The only part they did
not have was the terminals that cost pennies each.  They claimed manufacture
distribution problems and originally told me they would have them in August
which has come and gone.  There are other sources, but the problem is there
are so many almost-alike connectors and terminals that it is easy to get
mismatches if you are not careful.
