Default Custom Wiring Question

I am currently installing the Nordskog digital gauges into my '79. In order to do this, I need to splice the wires to the existing wires in the car, but as I am sure you are all aware, the original was a PCB with one connector. What I would like to do is find a modular connector like used on other wiring harnesses to facilitate a quick disconnect of the instrument clusters in the future. I have been searching the Internet with not much luck.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a complete plug (male and female) for at least 8 wires?

Most any electrical outlet like Southern Electrical supply will have that stuff. I am trying to remember who I bought my electrical stuff from...
Waytek...

I am sure a trip to the local salvage yard and you will find an 8 way connector

Thanks sixfooter...
