I am trying to find terminals like what is shown here. It’s from a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and was used in what GM called the front body connector. It is mounted on the cab side of the firewall and it carries the wires that run to the rear of the car (signal lights, dome light, back-up lamps, fuel tank sending unit). Both the male and female connectors use the same terminal. Does anybody know where I can source terminals like this?
I'm not 100% what I'm viewing. It appears to be a typical Packard 56 Series metal connector terminal end (the portion attached/crimped to the green wire). I can't say I recognize the metal piece inside of that terminal end. I don't believe GM used other terminal end connectors outside of the Packard 56 connectors. Both of those end terminals should be located "inside" a protective plastic sleeve. Others may be able to provide more assistance. There's a possibility that single metal piece is the incorrect (aberration) end terminal wire connector someone else may have used. I don't know for certain. I would suggest you "can" use Packard 56 wire terminal ends to provide a secure protected connection & replace what I'm viewing in your image.
Thanks so much for the help guys! It does appear that the terminal is in fact a Delphi 2973915 Twin Lock Female Terminal. It's interesting to note that Chrysler also appears to have used these terminals.
Also, thanks for the tip on where I can purchase terminals in Canada. It's all much appreciated.
