Electrical Connectors

[kz5rt2]

Does anybody know where to buy the original 60's early 70's electrical connectors?

I've exhausted my searching on the internet with no such luck.

Thanks!

The connectors are available from bulk wholesalers only. Large quantities are required. Most are packard Twin lock connectors which are not really reliable electrically.

If you are asking about the metal terminals they're available at Napa. You can buy them one at a time if you want. See above link from hawkeye.

You can get terminals from companies like American Autowire and Ron Francis, my local NAPA has a catalog where you can order many different terminals as well.

The problem are the terminals like the 70s ign switch, all years turning switches and similars. They seem to be made of "unobtanium"

Packards 56 are fairly easy and several prices rates for them

I just re wired my engine compartment and bought a assortment of Packard 56 terminals and connectors, the only thing I had to scrounge were the bulkhead connectors what do you need?

If you are doing a lot get a good Packard 56 crimper.

Where did you pick that kit up at? I think that's exactly what I need. I've been scrounging old harnesses mainly for the male housings. I have yet to find the single post temp sensor connector.

Also, 521 Restorative has them:

You can find the molded piece as a pigtail or just splice in the old one like I did. I really went overboard with mine and even used the same color codes.

Look at several of the links I posted. They are offering the plugs too.

And some reparing parts such as pigtails
