Default Started Header Install, Broke a spark plug wire

Hey all,
Managed to snap a stock spark plug wire removing things to get ready to "drop/slide" Kooks headers in. Is there a way to buy just one, as I've read some about people buying full sets. Is there a way to repair it or just replace the broken part? Anyone got a stocker they could send to me or I could pick up (Houston, Kingwood more specifically??)

Otherwise, GM Performance sound the best? Looking for low budget and quick turnaround, if I could get a good deal locally maybe: AutoZone, O'Reilly's, NAPA, and then Corvettes of Houston, HPE, and others aren't too far...What do you recommend, P/N's, expected pricing...

Also, still trying to figure how to get that 15mm to change the Air Tubes to the newer style since I have a 1998 and a the 2000+ set of LT Kooks...Can't find any tool to get on it let alone turn it.

I've got an extra stock wire I could send you, or I've got a full set of the GM "red" wires with only 1,000 miles on them I could sell you for $40 shipped (PayPal OK). I'm in Dallas, so it shouldn't take too long to get them to you. Drop me a note at bsiegrist@comcast.net or text me with your address at 972-890-1770 and I could get them out to you this afternoon if you can't find anything local.
