Does anybody know where I can get the male and female connectors that are used in the wiring harness?

Get good buys on ebay if your not in a hurry...

I'd recommend buying a used harness, and pushing the old brass ends out and reusing the connectors. I bought a couple b/c mine were melted, and they cost about $7 each new. A used harness would be cheaper.

I've got extra brass crimps I'll sell you, or you can go to NAPA and buy some for yourself.

Lamar,
What plugs are you looking for? I have a few harnesses here I will sell you cheap. Let me know and I will see if I have them. My harnesses are in pretty good shape and have good connectors on them.

Well I have a few harnesses myself but have a hard time getting the connectors opened up to put new wire in. The brass connector inside most of the black or brown plugs that are on the harness. I want new connectors to clean up and add a couple of thing to harness and still look factory.

If you research some of the wiring harness suppliers: American Autowire, Painless ,Etc I believe they will have what you are looking for. There is a guy in Cali. I believe that is usually at the Monroe Swap meet that also can supply them at least has in the past I buy a lot of my wiring supplys from him, Freds Electrics or something like that maybe a search will bring it up. There are also special connector tools available to release the prongs on the brass connector in the plastic connectors,Snap-On, Mac, and Im sure you could get them at NAPA or any major tool source.
