Hey Fellas!
I have an 87 Chevy Dually 1 ton 454 TBI Dually. The TPS and connector which it snaps in to and mounted to the throttle body were melted. Someone was probably spraying too much starter fluid or something. Anyways, I'm trying to locate the connector which mounts directly to the throttle body. Of course the TPS itself is readily available. Can anyone help? Thanks.

If you want to do this cheaper than a full pigtail kit, you can just get a 3-way Weatherpack connector.

For the cost of a single TPS pigtail at Napa, I got 20 male and 20 female connectors (have to put them together yourself) from Summit.

Here is the Painless single pack. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRF-70403/

I will have to look and see what the part number is for the package of 20 but I know I got it at Summit.
