Is there a source out there for electrical connectors for early 60s a-bodies?

I need the T-shaped 2-conductor connectors for the single-speed wiper motor. I need the male and female.

If you're not going for resto perfection just use any connector with the correct wire guage. Do you need the terminals or the plastic or both.

I needed the plastic and the terminals.

I found a set on an early 80s Toyota truck near the windshield washer reservoir.
They fit the connectors for the 63 one-speed wiper. I just had to cut off the retaining clip.

I used these connectors to plug my intermittent wiper control
in-between the wiper motor and the original wiring harness.

The T-shaped 2-conductor connectors they sell now have a wider gap between the two conductors and the plastic shell does not match the 63 mopar connector.

Try waytekwire.com. They carry the packard 56 series connectors and terminals (pg 29 of there catalog) that were used on the old mopars. Next time you are at the pick n pull grab a harness or 2 from a late model crown vic or one of those huge suvs. Lots of good multi-colored wire in those beast and the insulation on the modern wire has a higher temperature rating than the old oem stuff used years ago. Invest in the correct crimp tool and solder each connection after crimping. I built a complete underhood harness for a '66 fury this way. Works great.
Scott.
