Default please help, back-up lights

On my 86 corvette my back-up lights stoped working. Did some troubleshooting and found out that the connector that goes into my transmision is burned up. Was wondering if anyone knows were I can get a new one? I don't want to buy a new wiring harness I just need the male end that plugs into the transmision, the plug looks like the same one you use to plug your hood lights in.

Probably just an auto parts store or the chevy dealership.
Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Probably Mid America Corvette, Ecklers and all the others would have it also.

I believe that it is a standard GM 'Weatherpak" connector. Check your local NAPA auto parts store.
