Need help with a part.

Asking this for a buddy. 96 PSD

If I understand him correctley. Valve cover gasket has a built in wiring harness connector. The wiring harness outside the valve cover connection is bad. Ford sales the complete harness for 600.00. Does anybody make an aftermarket plug-in that can be put on. He was told you can get it for newer ford but not his

Scatgo, thanks for the web site! I ordered two pig tails (Only needed one but Murphys law and experience said to order two) they shipped it today and sent a tracking number. Great service!
My connector was bad and it caused me to spend $700 to replace #1 injector. It was throwing a code of #1 injector. Did an injector test and it showed the same. The shop replaced the injector and it worked great. Three months later same thing. This time a different shop said the same thing. I told them to check continuity on both sides of the valve cover they did and found a bad connector which they shimmed. Now I can permanenty fix the connector thanks to your tip!
