If I have it figured out right, you're talking about the frontmost connector on the ECU? And by description, I presume a 1996? (The block is the ECU; the three connectors are, well, connectors.)
The FSM says "Special Tool 6934" . I find one possible source here https://www.toolsource.com/terminal-...-p-132779.html .
OTOH, Thomas & Betts (the manufacturer for Chyrsler Corp of that connector) uses fairly standard connectors - should be able to use something like this https://smile.amazon.com/MENKEY-Term...dp/B07ZC1V2W6/ and that'll give you extras for other connector terminals.

Gibbs, I don't know what your make model and year is. In my case, I was unable to find the pin puller I needed. The field manual I got from Ralph indicated which puller I needed but I'll be damned if I could find it. You might have better luck. What I can say is I trashed my connector pulling the wires out. Busted most of the retainer tabs. Found a replacement connector on Ebay. Made my own tools (outlined previously in this thread) to remove the pins from the replacement. It worked. Might be worth your effort to go back in this thread to see what I did. Perhaps it would be useful for you.
In the end, it was my PCM that was shot...or so it appears.

It's best if you can get the correct pin puller...no doubt. Perhaps Ralph's links will lead you to the correct one. Without the correct puller I essentially had to sacrifice mine to figure out the kinds of tools I needed to cobble together. Might want to look at Ebay to see if you can get a replacement connector if you need it. Most of the connectors have the pins/wires still in them. They just lop off the harness. Makes for good practice when you go to remove them. 
I classified it as surgery because that's what it was. Very meticulous. Good luck!

Boneyard is all I know of.
I can't find the T&B number anywhere for that connector.
Then again, there may be a T&B number on the connector. Dunno, my 1988 doesn't have a JTEC controller, so its connector is radically different.

Hmmmm,
My diagnostic is now throwing two codes. Code 41 (which is the voltage regulator problem) and now a code 46 which is,
"Battery voltage sense input above target charging voltage during engine operation. (voltage too high)"
After adjusting my regulator and last I checked I was putting out 14.55v while idling. Anything to be concerned about??
