Default Heeelp I'm at a loss - pigtail connector

I need help. I'm trying to find the pigtail connector that goes to my distributor pick up coil it's a 3 wire circular connector I can't find one or what it's technically called. I have a 1990 dodge w250 with a 5.9 360

Which end are you looking for? Distributor side, or harness side?

A couple of photos of what you're trying to do would help.

I changed my own hall-effect module yesterday, so i reckon its the companion for this:


If i couldnt find one (new or used) would be looking at splicing the wires directly, or repurposing some other 3-prong weatherpack connector pair. Or bullet crimp connectors.

You sure that's the right sensor???? I thought it was a three-pin flat connector for cam sensor..... (pickup coil)

Looks right to me. I have 3 trucks (89 & 2x 90's) with the same connector as OP. Its for the hall-effect pickup inside the distributor. Pigtail connects outside.

You should be used to Dodge and their new connector style, same sensor theory's. The 2nd gens are full of that BS
