where to get replacement wire harnesses/connectors?

i recently replaced my ignition coil, and when i pulled off the front wire harness/connector, the plastic was so dried and brittle that the clip (that holds it on) broke right off. this is a gray connector, two wire (i think one pink or red and one is yellow?) that connects to the front top of the coil. (91). i had it held in place with elec tape, but it starting coming loose and the tach was jumping all around, so i want to replace the connector.

where do you get replacement connectors like that??? thanks.

Go to a junkyard and you can usually find one there. You can either cut the wires with it or use a pin extractor to remove the pins from the connector so you can replace it on your wire harness.

I would've mentioned that but boneyard connectors seem to be in just as bad of shape as what's on our cars.

That is true sometimes, but I have managed to find some really nice connectors there. It also helps to look at some of the other GM cars there because the connectors are not specific to camaros and firebirds.
