TPS and MAP sensor connector
I know I can get them at Mid America and probably Corvette Central but, is there a better place to purchase the clips for a MAP or TPS? It seems like whenever I work on a high mileage car, the silly little clip breaks no matter how careful one is. I just want to have some extras around.

Pep Boys carries a bunch of weatherpaks. Sometimes you have to buy the harness, but I just remove the leads so I don't have to splice anything. To get rid of the old connector, just crush it with some pliers or vice grips and then insert the leads into the new one.

As far as Pep Boys is concerned, I visited my local one Saturday and was unable to find the connector. They were SO busy I will visit another off peak time and ask.
Thanks.

Once or twice a year I go to the boneyard. While there I clip these connectors off and throw them in a jar. Most, if not all, of these connectors fit a similar year gm product. If it looks the same it usually is. Dealers charge way too much.
