I am looking for connectors: for...
-alternator (3 horizontal connections at back)
-battery
-electronic distributor
-starter
-wiring from front headlights and signal lights: has an old connector (old 1954 plastic, square shape)
The old wiring is still in place for the old distributor, temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor, and blower motor.
Here's a cheap way to wire that I've done a few times. Go to the boneyard and find an early 80's full size GM car with a V8. Remove entire wiring harness from front to back. Take everything; fusebox, switches, connectors, etc and dont cut anything. Stretch it all out on the floor of your garage. You'll also need an ohmmeter along with a wiring diagram (Haynes manual or internet). Start eliminating everything you wont use at the source; usually where it comes off of the fusebox. Mark everything you're going to keep. You should end up with a good harness you can transplant in the car that will be easy to troubleshoot for a minimal investment. I got mine for free from a GM G-body wagon but you should be able to buy the whole thing for $25-$40 and you'll have all the connectors you need.
