Where to purchase replacement electrical connectors?

Anybody know a good online source for gm electrical connectors? I am in need of quite a few for my 86 vette, 89 iroc, and even 1 for my 99 TA. Yes I could easily fix these things with aftermarket crimp on connectors and such but I really strive to do electrical repairs as close to factory as possible. I like my wiring to all appear factory origional even if it isn't. I know it's a little **** but nothing bothers me more than butchered wiring harnesses. I'm sure everyone out there who has ever purchased a 3rd gen knows exactly what I'm talking about, the disrespect some of these cars receive just bothers me.. Sorry for the rant.. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Try your GM dealership I still get all my connectors from them.
In some cases you may have to solder the wires then use heat shrink around the soldered wires(in the case of molded connectors)

Yeah, gonna have to take a day off and go to my old job (GM Dealer) where the parts guys still give me my employee discount. The only reason I havn't yet is do to lack of time, my only day off is sunday Good call on the solder n heatshrink tho, that's one of the 3 ways I consider a proper repair. The other being the crimp connectors with the heatshrink covering, I like to use them for repairs in tight areas and of course tuck them neatly back into the factory loom to hide the repair In cases when the actual connector is still in good shape u can always repair the terminals, however the issues im dealing with are basically missing the factory connectors completely. Ever see wire nuts on an automotive application?

Much more often than I'd like.

I've always just bought replacement connectors at the local "real" parts store, like NAPA or whatever. A google search for "weatherpak" or "weatherpack" or something similar should turn up a few dozen online sources, though.
