Gauge Cluster Harness Adapter (Where do I get one?)

I've got some autometer gauges and a plate I built for them. I was wondering if anyone knows where or if it exists, to get a female connector to connect to the factory harness? There isn't alot of wire to cut the original connector off so I thought I'd ask before I went that route.

Thanks

Check Chevy High Performance, June issue, I think. Autometer gauges were swapped into an 84 Camaro. IIRC, the article stated that since there was currently no connector available, the wiring had to be repinned--or something to that effect.

You have to cut the wires and use the supplied connectors, if you are using the autometer dash kit from Covan's. If you aren't, then you just need to splice them accordingly so you will be able to disconnect the gauges if you need to.

It's my own kit.

I'll just splice them in I guess. Probably hit baxter's for some connector blocks rather than a bunch of those male/female connectors.
