Fuse box accessory power lead

I am looking for the connector on the left side of this picture.

It connects directly the the fuse box to the Power lead on a 1970 Olds (will fit 58-78 GM I think).

I just need the connector, not necessarily interested in the rest of the harness it is attached to. It seems these aren't reproduced?

Similar jumper wire is used for power trunk release / glove box courtesy light power feed.

hot lead

sorry for the delay.......
usually the power trunk hot lead is pink and wont carry the load
a power window ... power seat ... rear heated glass .. power tailgate ...
options require .... good idea though ..

so I snuck into my power option box ..
.here is what we use on the Pontiacs ...
I have the same style on a 68 442 power bucket seat track option
so it may be the same as you may need ...

my spare would be pic 3 4 5 6

a single hot into a spreader ....

no signs of heat ... or broken clip ....

email me if it interests you or you need more info

The power trunk lead wire from the trunk solenoid on a Pontiac is pink; on a Cutlass it's black. See pics. The power trunk lead wire is 16 gauge. The correct jumper (splitter) wire for the trunk release lead wire is orange for the Cutlass. That jumper is also 16 gauge wire. Perhaps the jumper for multiple accessory options connected directly off the junction block is 14 gauge.

yes the 14 gauge jumper is what he was after,the one that I have in my hand in the picture... he didnt give quite enuf description in his first post ... after a chat with him
he is adding power windows ... power seat track ... tailgate etc ...
so we thought this one would work for him

thanks for the education on the power trunk wiring....

Thanks everyone for the responses!

I have everything I need now.
Just to add a little more information for anyone who might be interested in the future, this is the 3 spade connector that I pulled from the '71 Vista parts car

The previous owner of this car hacked and slashed the harness. There was a crimp connector attached to the end of this with a stereo amp wire that was cut off. I suspect that they had connected a stereo amplifier to the fuse box jumper and that they pulled it out when they removed the amp prior to the sale of the car.





Interesting in that it is slightly different from the one in Scott's photos - where it is a single spade connector with a 3 spade adapter plugged in.
