Question Alternator plug/wiring help

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but I recently bought a 95 SC400 that needs a bit of work the wiring plug on the alternator is broken I believe someone on this forum called it a Pin or Pigtail? I have looked around and called wrecking yards but the only response I get is "Oh we have already crushed all those cars" does anyone know where I can get one of these?

Where in tx are you? Depending on round or oval plug, they came in many cars. So is it a round plug or oval? Look at the back where it plugs in to determine, we can go from there.

Year of car helps too

you can get it at any toyota or lexus dealer. I like to go to toyota its the same on all the alternators just tell them you have a 95 supra non-turbo and you need the oval connector for the alternator. you can even just walk in with the broken connector and say its for the alternator and the have a connector list they can also find it that way.
to change it you will remove the pins from your old connector and slide them into the new connector. you will need a small screwdriver, first you remove the plastic cover on the top of the connector holding the pins in place, then you will be able to see the tabs holding the pins in. use screwdriver to lift tab and pull out the wire at same time, insert into new connector and it will click into place. when all the pins are in put the plastic holder thing back in and then you are good to go.

Do you by any chance know the part number or where I could find it? The Lexus dealer told me I would the entire harness for around 1700.

Mine broke the other day. I have these ebay ads saved.

I'm not sure about the second one though.
