Default Source for female connector like factory map sensor

I'm in need of a female connector that's the same as the factory map sensor. I need to make a jumper from my bs3 harness to an external 3 bar map sensor so I don't have to cut the bs3 harness up. Anybody know where I can get one?

If you want to go junkyard hunting you could get the cam sensor connector that sits at the front of the upper intake on a 3100 90's w-body. You can depin the map sensor connector and make a jumper harness out of it because you can get both the female and male sides of this 3 pin connector. http://www.likeabigdog.com/grandprix/engine.jpg

If you want to use a LS3 style MAP sensor, you can use this:

Per my post in another forum, there is more than one style LS3 MAP sensor. Newer models use a different 3 prong connector than earlier styles.

I'm not using an ls3 sensor I'm using the older style external 3 bar map sensor that uses a weatherpack style connector. I need a female connector to fit my harness to make an extension so I don't have to cut my big stuff harness up.

Having multiple connectors inline doesn't make any sense because every connector is a potential point of failure. Just cut the wires, solder in some extension wires, and be done with it.
