I'd love to redo all my electrical connections under the hood that are cooked and fried to the present state of being brittle and useless.... but it's most likely a forever task other than replacement of the wiring harness.

Ordered a bunch of connectors to replace the ones I broke the other day. They all came in yesterday. Ordered some from MyLParts and some from Ballenger Motorsports. Ballenger has all kinds of cool stuff but they had a couple of connectors I needed, mostly the injector connectors. They have the connector housings by themselves, housing with terminals and seals and fully loaded connectors with pigtails. I ordered one with pigtails so I could just wire it in without worrying about properly crimping the terminals. Only weird thing is I noticed that all the new connector housings I ordered were white, while the ones on the car were black. No big deal, just looks different. All these white plugs now.

Also I managed to break the little nub off the fuel injector itself that the plug locks on to. So my plug just kind of press fits on there. ugh. So I had the wrap a tie wrap around it to keep it from backing off. I'm not replacing an injector. Man I tell you, that valve cover job turned into quite the adventure.
couple more pics of new connectors:
