Default Electrical Connectors

Does anyone know a source for the crimp-on contacts used inside the electrical connectors c. 1979?

I'm having fits with the ACC circuit in the main wiring harness and am considering replacing the power wiring in that circuit and the chassis ground.

This is the company I sourced my connectors.

http://www.greggdistributors.ca/

I used them for my auto to manual transmission conversion.

I needed to add a cluth netrual harness, reverse backup lights , reverse lockout connections. I didn't want to hack the old connections. Made my own wiring warness to plug into the existing harness.

Thank you. I should have checked the source I use for recent (metri-pack and weatherpack) GM connectors as they have them as well.

Am I correct that most of the connectors in GMs of this vintage are "Packard 56" series?

Del City has the Packard type connectors...no minimum order amount, and in my experience very good customer service...Good Luck!
