I think you mean the Terminal Block a failure (short) will kill the engine. Here is a link to one source: http://www.taperformance.com/proddet...?prod=TA%5F706

If you're talking about this piece (and its mate), they came with the harness and are not available separately. The harness is no longer available.

You should at least wrap them to give them a bit more protection from chaffing.
