Engine rebuild, Fuel injector plug caps

Dry run 635 last year, runs great. Still, as I'm making another pile of parts I wonder what I think I'm doing. Must be a thousand things that have to go together exactly right, and tight, or no start and I'll be scratching my head bald.

I think the fuel injector and sensor (brittle plastic) square plug caps are supposed to pull off. As the little wire clips seem to like sticking, I'm given to removing them, then slipping the cap off.

One plastic cap has a broken lower corner. What's the drill for replacing it ? The rubber sleeve covering the wire, connection, looks pretty crunchy for rolling, sliding back.

I replaced the connector on my cold start injector a couple years ago, and the replacement caps I used came from a domestic car parts source only available as a set of 8. So I should have some spares someplace if I can find them. email me if you're interested

Thanks for offering. So far I've got a spare harness full of plugs. If they are too hard and crunchy to work with the rubber sleeves, connectors, I'll yell.

I just bought a set from Summit Racing. If you go to the manufacturer:

Part number 108012

They are a dollar cheaper.

Simple to install.
