I'm guessing you are talking about the 1999 Trans Am in your sig.
Unfortunately, the 4703 & 4701 connectors are hard to find. I was looking for a 4703 connector a couple years ago and couldn't find any. When I looked more recently, I found 1 manufacturer that had it, but I think they wanted to only sell in large quantities.
If I find anything, I'll let you know.

Scratch that, found it on first try:
http://www.repairconnector.com/produ...r-Pigtail.html
I just googled: "4703 connector" and got some hits. That link is the first one on the list. Apparently, they are so rare anymore. The 4701 connector is listed there as well.
This is the opposite of when I went looking a few years ago. No one had them then.
Well, since they were easy to find this time, double check AutoZone and Pepboys.... maybe they have them now (they didn't before).

FYI - If anyone in the future looks for these parts. The individual connector bodies and terminal locks are available. (Part numbers are below.) They are pretty hard to find online, so ordering them on a pigtail might be the easiest way to get them. Dorman also makes the pigtails, so they should be available to order through local parts stores.

Packard Source Crimp Supply has a great selection of Packard Delphi, Weather Pack and Metri Pack. Lots of stock too.
