I'm with you on the boot thing :)

I don't know where you can find new ones. But what I do is grab as
many good looking ones I can every time I go to junkyard. Some, you
know, don't lend themselves to replacement without cutting wires, but
some do.

Also, I smear silicon grease in the connectors when I can. I think it
helps seal out moisture.

One or two boots I have repaired using that plastic tool dip stuff,
but its kinda hokey.

I am trying to fix up the most egregious problems in my engine
compartment, and some of the electrical connections fall into this
category. I lost an injector, to corrosion eating the tabs! I am
trying to find new replacements for the rubber parts of the two-lead
connectors that are all over our engines - injectors, TPS switch,
etc. Anybody know what I mean, and where to find them? I have
searched, using all kinds of variations, but no luck so far...

Thanks to all!
