I've seen people bypass this. Is it OK to do with the two wires before the connector? I've seen people loop the wires together after the connector but my connector is bad and I'm stranded. Please help

Ok so I really need some help fast with a timing issue. I blew the head gasket and am getting ready to take off all the timing components and figured I would check it before hand. What I found was at top dead center the 2 cam lobes on the HPFP side are at a perfect 45 and everything I'm seeing...
