advantages vs disadvantages

Seven or nine pin round terminals = aircraft type plated terminals = peace of mind = no cleaning necessary = doesn't corrode = works every time.
good point andy!

on the flipside, i like the flat 7 pin connector. if sprayed with lps 2 or an equivilent they seem to be mostly trouble free.

the thing i like about the seven pin connector wired to the general motors standard is that every one and their brother has one now!

if a person breaks down, the chances of the "rescue" vehicle being wired the same are pretty good. in my circle of family and friends i can think of eight vehicles that would be just a phone call away with exactly the same wiring as my silverado. (and yes i would supply the beer! )

a little piece of mind in exchange for a minor inconvienance of a lesser connector.
