Default Where to get pins to repin the ECU connector - Budget Mass Air Conversion

Does anyone know where I can get a handful of pins for repining the ECU connector for the mass air wiring, please let me know. I have been looking all over for them. I don't want to buy the $50 kit, just some pins. If they are not available, are there any unused connectors currently on the vehicle that I can "borrow" them from? Thanks in advance.

Is anything deleted on the car? Like the egr valve?

Yes, EGR and smog are both bypassed.

So you need more pins than what is deleted on the car.

I guess I do. So if I had other things deleted, I could just take those pins from my ECU connector without messing up anything else?

It would for sure through a cel. Unless you got a chip burnt for it. Which could be done pretty cheap.

I would look at a wiring schematic for sure first, just to make sure I'm not killing juice to something else.

As far as I know they aren't available anymore. I cant remember what you can steal them from because there is 2 sizes, a large and small. I know the airbag stuff takes the small ones because I removed all that from my car since I put in 5 pt. harnesses. I cant remember what the pcm uses since I didnt mess with mine since Im running a holley efi. I did pull a lot of stuff out of my brother's 91 harness though. Think I took the egr off and some of the smog stuff and the evap stuff.

Ford used to sell pigtail pins through Motorsports & Racing. I have a bunch, if you want some. New here, does this forum have a PM capability? Don't see an icon to click. imp
