TB connector
I've been doing a number of upgrades and I broke the locking clip on the throttlebody electrical connector. Does anybody have a fix for these broken clips? I have a few others that are broken, too. They sure are brittle.

Pretty sure its a dealer part.
I've broken a few and haven't bothered replacing them. The rubber seal holds them in tight. Maybe I should get around to fixing em. :smash:

Eckler's carries the connectors for the throttle body - there are three, throttle position, temperature and idle air control. At least one of the connectors is available at Pep-Boys - I bought one there. You have to figure out how to remove the pins from the old connector and install them in the new connector - otherwise you have to splice the wires.

Otherwise a dab of silicone will do.

Re: TB connector (drive it)
I just found a year one catalog and found weather pack plugs for GMs. They even had the extractor tool so you don't have to splice in a pig tail. They have a web site: http://www.nextgenparts.com

Now if I could just figure out the plug wire loom problem :banghead:
