TPI engine Connectors
I know this does not seem to be directly related to an engine swap, however due to a poor previous engine swap by a FORMER owner I am in need of several connector ends. It seems that a shade tree mechanic should not be working on cars. He broke off almost every connector clip that goes on the engine 
.
If you have a better place for this thread shoot me there, thanks...
I am in need of some plug ends, or pig tails, whatever is out there. The ones I know for sure at this point are the IAC plug, the TPS plug, the ECM temp sensor plug... more to come I am sure but I am just scratching the surface.
I tried Painless Wiring, and they said that they do not sell just the ends jsut the assembly, what a Pain.
Any help would be appreciated.

PepBoys has quite a few connectors in the Electrical aisle hanging on the shelf.
Dealers can usually get them but the $$ is pretty bad.
Junkyard is my favorite option.

NAPA carries more electrical connectors than you would believe. The Echlin line they carry has almost all the connectors for the underhood connections. The two I know they don't sell is the firewall bulkhead(C100) and the heater resistor plug for non A/C cars.

I got some at a local 'yard... Fortunately GM was smart enough to use universal plugs for late 80's cars... The ones I needed IAC, TPS, and ECM coolant temp I got from an 88 1500 Truck.
I knew the owner so they were "FREE!"
can't beat that with a stick.
