I think he was referring to sources of supply for new connectors, rather than physical location. I was able to get a complete set of both the controller box contacts and the injector/sensor contacts from the local chain parts place(Champion, now out of business). They didn't have them in stock, but had to order them out of a catalog with special parts. Had them in the next day. Beck-Arnley brand. They also had the plug shells in the catalog, I've got plenty so I didn't order any. You can get the contacts out of the shell with a paperclip or a jeweler's screwdriver, just depress the little latch on the contact. I've also seen the injector plugs for sale at foreign car parts places with about a 3" set of leads, apparently you're supposed to splice them into the existing harness instead of crimping new contacts on. I wouldn't recommend that except as a last resort. Good crimping tools are expensive, an adequate one can be found at Radio Shack. I crimp AND solder, now. Harness rebuilding is going to be the spring/summer task. Just need to find the right size wire with some teflon insulation and a way to mark the wires. Good luck.
