I'm getting ready to start a wiring harness install on my '69 Camaro, and the kit comes with numerous non-insulated terminal ends. They're the open type with two tabs that fold over, and I don't have the crimping tool that works for that type of terminal. Anyone have any suggestions? I see prices ranging from $10 to over $100, but it's tough to tell for sure which crimper is right for these terminals.

I have one like this. Picked it up at radio shack for under $10 about 10+ years ago. Works good enough for me.

Be very careful. What you are describing sounds like a barrel pin. If its a GM weatherpak etc there are specific crimpers. Crimping is very very important - don't guess.
This is a good one that I use, also does Metri-Pak

Also, if anyone needs a crimper w/o spending a fortune for the Metri-Pak and factory sealed terminals, Waytek has a good one for $22.00
You will see others exactly like it for money, (I looked)
