89-93 efi injector connector

[kman67]

One of my injector connectors broke a plastic locking tab and I want to get a new housing vs a 40 year old used one. I haven’t found just the housing, but replacement pigtails.
The ford connector is:
3U2Z-14S411-ATA

This seams to be the cheapest one at $31.99:
Dorman 645-209


I looked at rockauto and they have a different one with a wire that locks it in place. My question is, can I use that one? Can I unpin my old connector and put the old wires in the RockAuto housing?

Thanks,
Kyle

It's not critical unless you're jumping & neutral-dropping a lot, or the engine mounts are broken allowing a lot of vibration. Otherwise, I've never had them come off, even in many thousands of miles without the catches.

They're all over eBay & Amazon.

...a wire that locks it in place. ...can I use that one?

Anything that fits a common Bosch EV6 injector connector.

Can I unpin my old connector and put the old wires in the RockAuto housing?

Yes, you can depin any new connector, too, and transfer its shell. Pull the yellow lock out of yours, and gently pry up the terminal catches while pulling the wires out.

The Rock Auto connector looks like an EV1 connector shown in the link below and also showed up in a cross reference to the Ford part. You can get info on the OM connector and pins on the EFI Conversions site. They also sell pigtails and parts at good prices. Go to the Engine menu at the top of the page. The EV6 are also in there if you want to compare, to me the pins look more square than the EV1.
