[urq] AMP pins in early-style fusebox

I was planning on jumpering my fuel pump to pressure test my fancy new
braided stainless fuel lines this Sunday.  I had gotten the AMP pin
extractor and pulled the pin out of the back of one of the fusebox
connectors, which actually served the same purpose (to ground the FP
relay) with the old ECU.  I had clipped the wire to leave plenty of
lead to crimp onto, but the insulation was pulling out of the rearmost
set of crimps in the connector.  As I was trying to wiggle it back in,
I broke the connector between the crimp and the actual receiver
barrel.

Long story short:  I need to find an AMP part number for the hollow
pins that plug into the back of the fusebox on the early style cars.
Barring that, if there is a lister in the Seattle area who has some
laying around, or knows a place that might have a stock of them (so I
can compare what I have) I'd appreciate any leads anybody could give
me.

The good news is that I have all of my sensors wired up, and when I
turn my dizzy (out of the car of course) I hear my fuel injectors
firing and the coil fires as well.  Hopefully I'm just an AMP
connector and 12 hours worth of swearing and frustration away from a
test fire!
