Having a mechanic go thru the majority of my problems but I need a source for electrical connectors. I found the inj. connectors on ebay. Looks like I need the three prong version too. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

most of those crimp connector you can buy at wal-mart. if single wire and you can't match cut off both and put something new on.

You show me those connectors at Walmart and I'll buy them for you. In American dollars. There is NOTHING at vintage connections that is available at Walmart.

why do I need a vintage connnection to connect a wire. anything will work bullet, spade you name it. they have em at my wal mart and cheaper than anywhere else. electrical connectors are not some mysterious arcane technology they have been around for years. They are using the same stuff now that I used 55 years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth and hair was still brown. Still used the same stuff after I got out of grad school in electrical engineering.

So far I haven't been able to find the 3 wire efi connector anywhere but I'm still looking. It's been discontinued by Nissan. It's a standard Bosch connector and there is even a quick disconnect style that was made at one time. If anyone finds such a beast let me know.

Try this site for the Bosch style 3 pole efi connectors. [eagleday.stores.yahoo.net]
They're not cheap at $25 dollars a piece. The site says they are being sourced out of Europe and in limited supply.

Thanks for the link. So far that's the first source that I"ve found that actually has them, and they're the quick disconnect. As soon as I buy a few from them I'll probably find another source at a better price. That's usually the way it works.
