Default Starter wire connection

Anybody know where I can get the plug(white connector) that feeds into the starter on the bottom. I know Eckler's sells the bottom wire portion that feeds into starter. But where can I find the one that connects to it?

Top part of connection that feed to the starter in the bottom.

Please include your model year...
Different years different Packard/Delphi part numbers
Looks like a 6 cell to me...

If the terminals and crimps are in good shape, no need for new terminals.
If you find you need to replace one or more then a crimping tool would be necessary.
