i thought it was. when i got the car, it had an accel distributor on it, and this was the connection to it. when i put an MSD in it, i put that connector on for the new distributor.
what does a stock connection look like?

Add wires to the one you have or use any 2 wire pull apart connector if desired & solder it in or even 2 sets of 2ea male/female bullet connectors, just make sure the polarity is correct (see archives). If you had the correct zigzag OE connector that'd be the best way to go if you had a spare pickup plate/coil/pigtail, just swap it in

I've probably got a few of them in garage somewhere, but any Mopar guy near you probably does, too. Any JY with old Mopars in it, is going to have them, too. The harness end is the same as the distributor end, so snip the pigtails off the harnesses of a couple of Mopars and splice 'em into your car.
I've used 'em to add a few electrical items where polarity mattered, cuz the two ends can only go together one way.

Those are old Tamya RC Battery conectors from the mid 80's. I think they are refered to as Molinex(sp) and should be able to get from Radio Shack. They are referd to as Meltfast in the RC trades, 3-5 Amps for 4-6 minutes and their a fire hazzard.

There was no connector in 70 like that , 70 used a dual point presolite, one lead coming out of the distributor connecting to the negative side of the coil.

Local parts store should have the factory style connector as a universal in their electrical section.

The stock Mopar electronic distributor connector was basically a two-wire trailer lighting connector but with different colored wires. I bought mine at Wal-Mart.
