You could get 2 new brass female terminals NAPA 725147 (~44 cents ea) and pirate a good used bakelite double L shaped connector from a wiring harness in your stash. Stick an eyeglass mini screwdriver in the end on the side that has the little slot & depress the tab halfway down inside just the right amt so the wire/terminal will pull out the back side of the connector. Dont force it, when you have the hidden tab depressed just the right amt it'll easily come right out the back & you can see the tab on your new ones to get an idea of what you are working w. On your new terminals thread the 2 wires thru the bakelite connector then crimp/solder the new female terminals on & pull the tab on the side of each terminal out from flush slightly so when you pull on the wire backwards to draw the brass terminal(s) into the bakelite connector the tab will lock it into place. Almost forgot, buy a male one 725147 ~44 cents & use it to set the right amount of crimp on the female ones after you solder/crimp them but b 4 you pull the wire to draw them inside as when you are done you want the bakelite connector to fit right on w a medium amt of tension & that's not the time to b force fitting anything. If you dont have an extra L double connector that is not burned up you can use 2 singles which are very common. Wont be OE but (electrically) it'll work fine

Thanks a ton. I'm assuming the Signal Stat 12v Flasher #175 can be had at Napa also.
Still looking for LM29H1B415501, '71 Demon 340

I'll take my NAPA over yours,$0.17 for the male,$0.19 for the female,even less for box of 50. 
Also, the wire doesn't have to go through the connector,the tetminal snaps into the connector.

EDIT correct yes you put the terminal/wire in from the back side not pulling it thru backwards as I stated
