1986 Ranger Missing Connector

First time poster here! So im doing a 1986 ford ranger resto. Currently in the process of making a new engine bay wire harness but I can't seem to find the connector anywhere online. What are your guys suggestions . Should I just buy a different style of connector and splice it in? I couldn't find a part number on the connector . All I found was 14A459

At the widest points does it measure roughly 22mm by 28.8mm x 35.9mm. If so that is a common 8 pin wedgelock connector. Wanting confirmation because I assume they didn't reinvent the wheel for the small Rangers but I've never been around an early one.
A jy is your best best but pm me if you want as I now have one sitting on my desk

These are all over the full size trucks. This is the first one I grabbed - I think this is for the digital clock...
This specific one is all there but has some sun discoloration.

I had the same problem and went to the junk yard and cut one from a junker.
