contact western motorsports, they do a plug and play SDS kit and they may be able to steer you in the right direction.

AFAIK, there are no applications for 60pin FORD EEC Female connectors other than on the EEC itself.

For that, look to any EEC-IV EEC or an Injector Drive Module (IDM) from a '94-'03 Power Stroke equipped vehicle (Ford/Navistar). You can, and I have, salvaged the female shells complete with the pins, from these units.

Very often a Ford dealer will have a batch of bad IDMs. There are no cores on them, so they may be willing to give you some.

Normally I just get mine from the scrap yard. No use spending 35 cents each for new sockets, just cut the wires off and solder new wires directly to the socket, I use heat shrink over them and they still fit.
Just pry off the Red retainer, and then use a small flat blade to release the sockets from the connector. pull them all out and start over with new wire. Your only going to use about half of the original connections. Forget about splices, not the best way to do it.

My .02 cents.

he is looking for what would be the computer side, ie, so he can plug into the stock harness.

I pulled my out of a same model ECU

That would be the Male connector then. The one with the pins (male), attached to the ECU.

I remove them from known bad ECU's with a heat gun. you have to be careful not to melt the connector. I shield it with aluminum speed tape.
