power distributiuon junction box c238 part numbers

I'm looking for the part numbers (and hopefully a source) for the connectors that go into the C238 connector

I need three of the two pin connectors and one of the one pin kind...

Any ideas?

I know exactly what you are talking about. When I needed connectors like that I went on eBay and typed it into the search bar and not much came up. Then I looked around for members who were gutting or stripping their cars and picked up another block with those connectors. It's only available till 1988. Afterwards GM got rid of it.

Ya these were very common connectors on G Bodies (Cutlass, Grand prix, Monty, etc) they were used on Vettes, Trucks and ThirdGens too... Seems that no one sells these pigtails

The two pin kind is in the attached photo; it is the black one on the right.

Check out standard motor company. They seem to have most electrical bits that delphi discontinued. Beware, they're pricey and only available as pigtails, no indiv connector bodies/terminals

If you're repairing one car in particular, why not cut the old end off and crimp on a fresh connector that is more readily available like a metripack or weatherpack

Those connectors that you are looking for, use the terminals known as Pack-con III female - just FYI

I'm not sure how that makes sense. I need a connector to plug into the distribution block. No other type of connector will fit in there... and if I cut off the distribution block then I need to replace connectors for the power windows, locks, hatch etc. I just need that end...

Thirdgens are few and far between in yards here but I'm going to make a sweep of all of the yards next week at the start of my Christmas holidays.
