Electrical Connector Seals
Hey Fellas. Does anyone know where I can get some Electrical Connector Seals. It seems every time I work on my truck where I've removed a connector I lose a connector seal. This time it was the one from my cam sensor plug. I've had to scrounge around in the past and or pull from one of the other discontinued connectors laying in the valley of my engine to replace one from another plug I've lost. Anyhow, I've spent the last 2 hrs trying to find a place to buy a few spare replacement connector seals, but no go.

I'm not entirely understanding your request, but I think you are looking for the pliable seal that sometimes goes between connections? Looks like a tiny accordion or similar?
I don't remember seeing any of those available, but someone else might know more.
As a last resort, you could get new connectors from the catalog in the 7.3L PSD Tech Folder.

On Edit. Thank for the connector catalog. I put it in my files for future reference.

How about getting a plug repair kit for a coil-on-plug setup for any random engine out there? They are very similar in construction to the plugs for our trucks and the little seals are pretty similar if not exactly the same size. It's just the plug housing is different, but all the rest are the same basically. Fish out what you need and toss the rest.
Just for one example, this is for a VW/Audi coil-on-plug connector with the little spade connectors and all the seals necessary for assembling a new plug.

And here's one for a Toyota with a different style connector inside. What you have to do is match up the little connectors to the type that Ford used and then buy that kit. Toss the housings unless for some reason they are compatible with what you are working with.

If we are going to go to the trouble of replacing connectors, then go with either easily sourced Metri-Pack 280 or Deutsch connectors. If you want to get into connectors that allow you to run your truck like a submarine (at least from the connector POV), try Amphenol.

When I needed a new IPR connector seal the shipping was cost prohibitive. I ended up buying a cheapo eBay IPR pigtail and stealing the seal from it. That was much cheaper than buying the $2 seal from riffraff and paying for shipping.
By the way, that connector type is also used on the 6.0 VGT from what I remember.
