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.

might just look at the icm to insure it has 2 terminals on the 1 side.

Yep, I believe it's the power and tach one. Will that make my car just shut off while running? And it was hard starting also unless I pushed those connectors up.

If you loose power to the distributor, you loose spark and injector pulse on tpi.
