I don't know the part number for new pieces. However the TBI connectors are used on a lot of vehicles including trucks. If the terminal is in good shape and you are just looking for housings. . . can vist a junkyard and get some better ones. Swap the housing over to your current terminals. The housing pop open and a little tab holds the terminal end in.

The reason I recommend this route is due to the wire used. It is a teflon insulated nickel based wire that is difficult(!) to work with.

If you decide to splice in new new connectors I do have some tips:

Heat the insulation before stripping it.
Do [bold]not[/bold] nick the actual wire.
Do not twist or fold the connector wire.

Wrap the feed wire around the TBI connector wire and solder. Use something like duct tape and wrap the connection. The problem is that a nick or a twist in the TBI connector wire will cause it to break. If so sometime down the road heat & vibration will cause the splice to fail.

The first clue to this occurrence is hard start condition. HTH's,

RBob.
