Google Packard 56 connectors.
Many vendors sell them. Not all vendors sell all styles, so you may have to order from more than one to get exactly what you need. Some specialty connectors (ie, the ignition switch) are not readily available and sometimes need to be harvested from parts cars.

While we're on this subject, does anyone know a source for a GOOD crimping tool for these Packard terminals? We had to do a couple on a 77 Buick yesterday and while the crimps function, they ain't pretty. Sure was glad the plastic insulator covered them up...

See this thread started by Chris Witt. I've had excellent results with the ratchet crimper I show in that thread. Best crimper for Packard 56 termnals ever.
