hi,

A picture might help.  Is it existing in a vehicle (oem), year, make and model?  Both mouser and digi-key have a large assortment of connectors, power and otherwise.  Is it a single or multiple pin connector..the pitch of the terminals can help identify its manufacturer.

what I am wanting to do is install a 90 gauge cluster in a 83 D-150

the mounting holes are identical, the electrical connectors are not, pin sizes are the same though. There are many electrical differences between the two, I have already test lead wired the 90, so I know it will work, just not ready to cut up the factory harness on the 83, that is why I am looking for pin terminals to make up a set of semi permanent jumpers to go from the pig tail from the 90 gauge cluster to the existing 83 female connectors.

see photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@N02/3901607175/

one shows the 87 (basically identical to an 83 gauge cluster) the female connector is loose,on the left side of photo, second photo shows the 87 on the top and the 90 on the bottom.

The problem being that Molex and AMP carry ranges of hundreds!  Just about every car manufacturer specifies different sizes, the only way I've matched before is to carry in a Nokia plug to  a major supplier and they've matched it. Fine it fits the plugs on DEI sirens and the white alarm connectors but OEM car connectors are a different ball-game. Go to RS Components UK and look at power connectors, it will drive you mad.

Isn't part of the fun the search?  You might be able to try your neighborhood car dealer.  I know Ford dealers have pigtail terminals, both male and female.  Not sure about Chrysler though.  You might be able to talk the parts counter guy into helping you out.  You're just looking for a pin style terminal that has a snug fit, no housing needed.
