Where to buy 3rd gen electrical connectors?
There was a small business in the past that sold, created and stocked our specific electrical connectors. Are they still in business, if so what is their URL etc. Thanks

He knows more about this stuff than almost anybody on the planet.... and he's selling parts at cost as a friendly thing to do after his very recent retirement from being a professional builder. Be patient though, he doesn't have a store front any more and it takes time to get the parts in.
If you need things real fast then Ballenger Motorsports is also very knowledgeable, but it will cost you....

Also, if you post pictures then somebody might be able to tell you what is the actual part number, and then you can order it from a big warehouse like Mouser or TTI (parent company of Mouser).
Not everything is still in production anymore, so posting pictures will help get through that question faster anyway.

Depending on what you need there are a number of aftermarket companies that produce replacement connectors

Most Connectors can be found... the Hard stuff to find would be some of the Pre-1985 Parts, and some interior Parts for most all years (FireBirds being the worst).

Re: Where to buy 3rd gen electrical connectors?
I am repinning the C100 harness (both sides) on a 1989 firebird converted over to speed density. I need to order some metri-pack terminals (male and female, and I am making up an order from https://www.customconnectorkits.com/.
I plan on getting the Metri-pack 150, 280, 480 and 630 male & female connectors, but don't know if I need the sealed or unsealed style.
Anybody know which type?

Not everything is still in production. APTIV is the company that owns all that stuff and you can look for it at their website. TTI and Mouser (same companies) are distributors you can purchase from and it's often easier to search from their websites instead.

I started this project in 2009 and I haven't touched it in about 10 or so years. Now I want to finish by springtime!
