Help with 86 Iroc distributor issue

Good morning all. So, I ahave a picture of the distributor on my Iroc. The side piece I have circled has wiring that plugs into the bottom of that piece in the pic. The clips and broke and my car won't start anymore. The clips were going bad and I used to have to push the plug back up into the circled piece there for the car to start. So, I need to buy the connecting harness that plugs into the bottom of the piece. Can anyone please tell me what that little harness/plug is called? Thanks ahead of time.

You don't need a new harness, and you don't need the plastic connector that plugs into the cap from the harness.
Just replace the cap and replace the "female" spade connectors of the correct size on the ends of the wires, and plug them in separately.
I upgraded the distributor on my 71 shortbed to an HEI like yours, and did the same tbing.
