Default Electrical connector on oil pressure sending unit

Does anyone know how to remove the wires from the molded plastic connector that plugs into the oil sending unit? Does anyone make a replacement with pigtails that can be spliced in? Mine has apparently a break in the wire where it enters the molded plastic and is driving me nuts! Sensor is good. Think a salvage yard would let me cut one from a yard car or make me buy the entire harness?

Found one at a salvage yard where I do alot of business. Guy told me if I could find one, cut it off. Didn't cost me anything.

Yes. I either had O oil pressure or it was maxed out before, unless I was messing with the connector while the engine was running. Ohmed out the connector once I removed it and apparently the wire is broken where the crimp is gong into the plug. Spliced the new one in and reading about 1/2 gauge when cold and between 1/2 gauge and 1/4 guage at running temp idle.
