Electrical connectors — where to get 'em?

Electrical connectors — where to get 'em?
Have a '93 B2600i. There is a four-wire plastic male connector that plugs into the distributor. On this truck, the plastic has "crystallized" and crumbled into pieces. The wires themselves have been wiggling around so long that one is busted off its spade (the metal fitting inside the remains of the connector), and another is hanging on by about one strand. I went to Mazda and they don't sell individual connectors. To get a new one I would have to buy the whole engine room wiring harness for $880. Hahahaha. (Oh sure, gimme a dozen....)
Sooooo, I can mickey mouse the thing by breaking off the remains of the connector and, I suppose, soldering fresh wire to each little metal end and plugging the wires in individually. This seems like an unecessarily risky operation because I might get wires crossed or touching each other. Or I could cruise the junkyards and hope I find one there or . . . what? I'd really like to just solder in a nice, fresh new connector. Anyone know where I can get one?

The distributor connector, you can get one off of 1994-1995 Nissan Altima, they are the same. i had to do that to mine, and splice the wires, the wires are not the same color, but start at the top when you start wiring the wires together. and you want get anything crossed.
