Temp sending unit connector 1970 455

Here is a picture of my temp sending unit sans connector. I do not know what happened but when I opened the hood today the connector was gone. I looked high and low for it but the "little man from Liverpool" must have taken it. I had been cleaning the engine yesterday, and can only imagine that in my exuberance I pulled it off.
Does anyone know where I can get the connector lead which attaches to the top of the sending unit and then into a typical black plastic GM connection, (spade type) on the harness? I checked with all the ususal suspects: Fusik, Inline, Summit but for naught.

Thanks, Peter

Joe, I think he's looking for the L-shaped male spade connector that screws onto the top of the sender and plugs into the female conector you indicated.

Why not just get an all-new sending unit? They're less than $10 from Rockauto. They've got one that sells for all of $1.85. The one below is $6.42.


Probably just a few dollars at your local auto parts store.

Actually Joe has the one, except mine was black. I know this is not factory correct, which has a spade connector, but it was the one that came with my rally pack reproduction.
I put the car on the lift today and found the little black plastic connector like Joe's picture sitting on the cross member. It had pulled off the wire while I was cleaning the engine. I put it back on and bob is your uncle.
I have heard that you can now get reproduction units with the factory correct spade connector.
Thanks to all for your help.
Cheers, Peter

Also, just found that N apa has the lead. It is made by Echlin. It is made for an Ac compressor, GM. Go figure.
