fuse box connector needed
I am going to wire a Petronix dist setup in my 69 vette.
I plan on connecting the power wire for it on the connection on the fuse box labeled IGN.
Im having problems finding a connector that will snap right into it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a place I should be able to get one? Or possibly a part number? I might just be looking the wrong way for the part.
I have already gone to Carquest locally and they ordered a connector that ended up not being correct.
Thanks for any help

Thats my fuse box and I found a blade type connector. It looks to be perfect for the job, thanks
Also, anyone know what that wrapped with black tape set of wires is?
My blue, green pink wires also shown in the picture have had a fight with it near firewall. I can see some bare walls and damage on both the wrapped set of wires and the unwrapped ones shown in this picture.
The unwrapped ones apparently go to the headlight brights switch and it looks like there was 3-4 of them.
This might explain why only 2 of my headlights work. The two that do work are a set from each side and the brightening does work for them. The other 2 headlights dont do anything.
thanks

Yes, the 3 colored wires go to the dimmer switch on the floor. The wrapped harness in the photo goes through a hole in the firewall then is wrapped into the main harness that goes to the horn relay and alternator. Not sure what it connects to as I can't see the color of the wires under the dash to be able to follow it on my wiring diagram. If you give the colors, I should be able to find where it goes.
