Default WTF is this

I found my engine wiring harness had fused into a giant gummy worm so I decided to replace it with a donor from a 2000. Now I can’t find the 3 prong plug at the distributor on my factory wiring manual. It’s not ignition coil, that is a gray plug. And the 2000 harness has coil packs so it is a little different.
wWhat is this connector called? Is it one of the 57 C series connectors?
Vehicle is.a 99 4.0 w/ auto trans & 231 t case

Thanks
I have a mess but am making progress.
Never knew the harness were different based on year, options, engine, trans, transfer case and options. I was documenting wires at plugs and also finding some difference between as found and factory documentation.
Having a set of tools to remove pins from plugs is valuable.
