Does anybody know where to buy vintage electrical and housing connectors? I think I've exhausted the internet search results.

Thanks!

I think I've seen a couple of vendors on E-bay selling those. Try there.

What types of connectors are you looking for ? wire to wire, wire to component ?

Some of the old vintage stuff is chrysler proprietary and I have never been able to crack it. Packard 56, 58 and 59 is some of it. The AMP brand of TE Connectivity was also a supplier back in the day. They still offer alot of stuff if you willing to dig for it. Molex did some but there rather useless since they became part of koch industries and really dont want to talk to anyone.

As mentioned, I think they are "Packard", but some configurations are difficult to find.

I did my wiring over the past year. Be aware that not all Packard 56 Terminals are created equal. Some are made of thicker gauge brass and they are a pain to crimp. Also, buying the correct crimp tool and dies will keep you from losing your mind.
If you are in need of connectors, hit me up. I harvested a bunch off of old mopars and still have quite a few.
