Fuel Injector Connector

I figured out my vibration at idle

the #8 Injector connecter was bad, i thought i might have bad rings but * in a moment of genious* as i call it. I said.. hey this is batch fire so if the other ones work ill see if i can get this cyl to fire better. So i swapped 6/8 and low and behold when i pulled it on/off #8 it shuddered and showed it was weak in that cyl. And the connector from #8 on #6 showed barely anything.

So theres my story for the day, either way i know i need a new connector. Ive looked on autozones/advance but i cant seem to find, i suppose the "pigtail"

Is there a place i can purchase these? And is it just as simple as cutting and Using But connectors to install the new wiring?


Thanks!

I got one (pigtail) from NAPA for $12. They had it in stock. Yes, I just cut off the old one and wired in the new one. Took about 10 minutes.

You can also get them from fiveomotorsport.com

PS. I wouldn't use a crimp connector for this! I would twist and solder it.
