Where to get electrical pins??

Does anyone here know of a good internet site where I could buy connector pins for cables???

I need to do some wiring through the C100 connector through the firewall on my 87 Camaro. And to add some wires there I need some special type of pins to fasten the wires inside the connector.

Have anyone done any mods to their original wiring connectors???
The reason why I want theese pins is that i don't want to made a new hole/spot for cables to get from engine bay and inside the car...

If you can't find anything online you could always cut out both sides of a C100 from a junkyard car. Leave 3-4" of wiring on each side of the connector to solder your new wires to. Then just remove them from the JY connector and insert them into yours.

Actually I think I found a good site today. www.eficonnection.com

That site has a lot of electrical parts when it comes to wiring injection systems. It seems like they also sell the pins witch will fit in to the C100 connector and also the C207 connector under the dashboard on the passenger side next to the ECM.

Looks like they have a lot of useful connectors. Nice find! After thinking about your question some more, I remembered another site I've used for things like LED's, resistors, and other components. They might have what you are looking for, I've never searched their site for connector pins, and haven't had a chance to yet but you might want to check them out.
