Default Weatherpack connectors in "kit" form...

Does anyone know a good source for weatherpack connectors in "kit" form? By that, I mean the type where you assemble and crimp them yourself, as opposed to crimping on a pigtail. I have a few I want to replace, and I just don't want a patchwork job of all my wiring using those crimp on pigtails. I went through the pigtail stuff on my '86, and not going that route again...always bothered me...

Right now, I just need one for the MAP sensor, and another one along the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. Maybe oxygen sensor? I replaced my alternator connector with a pigtail type, and drawing the line there. If I can find a "kit" type one for that, I might do that one over again too.

I'd consider one of those kits with several sizes, but never can seem to decide on one. They range greatly in volume and price, and not sure how big a set I really need.

Anyway, this is in regard to a 96 CE with LT4/ZF6.

Thanks!

At one point, I thought O'Reilly's carried an assortment of weatherpack connectors. They had them in a box behind the counter.

You can buy the individual connectors from EFICONNECTION.COM
check this link for the MAP connector:
https://www.eficonnection.com/home/p...male-connector

If your terminals are still in good shape you can disassemble the connector and install the wires in a new connector body.
If you need to replace the terminals too, cut the old ones off and assemble a new connector on to the wires
