With all of the above links, you should be able to rewire almost any car, especially from the past 5 decades. If you are looking for a specific connector, I recommend starting by searching using the number of pins, also known as number of ways. Looking for sealed vs unseal connectors can also narrow it down. Housing color is another useful filter, though it can vary by application. Once you find a connector that looks the same or very similar, make sure it has the exact correct pins and alignment tabs for your application. If it is similar, but not correct, trying looking at other connectors by the same manufacturer. They often have many series which are similar, but not exactly the same. If you need help, leave a comment and I will try to assist if I have the time, but please understand I have a lot of my own work to do. You got this!
This video shows how to make an OEM replacement wiring connector from scratch using a bare housing, pins, seals, automotive wire, proper crimping technique, and permanent wire splicing techniques. After watching this video, you should be able to replace almost any wire and attached connector in a vehicle. Rather than just buying a connector pigtail, you can make an exact replica of your factory connector from start to finish. You can also wire entirely new circuits and sensors into a car using these techniques. For example, these are the fundamentals to wiring in any standalone engine management system. I really hope it helps you learn about automotive wiring and how to repair or wire your project car!
