Default Oil sending unit harness

where can i source the jeep side of the oil sending unit plug? the harness side clip is broken so i get random oil pressure readings while i'm driving. the vibrations from driving cause the plug to slip out and give some crazy readings. any help?

zip tie the connector together, I've got a few like that.
or, not sure if this will work, but you can try an earlier model sending unit...I know 1990 and 91 use a simple blade connection, and 1995 uses some complicated automotive connector thats prone to breaking.
