Default Electric Choke Connectors

Where would I find these?
Electrical supply store?
Automotive Store?

I need to splice my existing connection to make the wires longer and also need new connectors. Not sure where to find them.

What's the proper name for these connectors?

Should be able to get them them at the local parts store in the electrical section. They are blade connectors or something like that, get the plastic sheilded kind, might need to get a pack of male and female.

These are a bit hard to find. In fact I have yet to find a real replacement. My plastic shielding is busted up on mine and sometimes the plug will fall off the choke connector. I have looked and looked but my only options were things I was going to have to "Bubba" to make work. If you find the correct part, let me know where.

I took some wire cutters to my local "you-pull-it" salvage yard and walked away with several of these connectors. These same connectors were used on many of the later GM cars (pontiac,olds..) with the V-8 motor with q-carb. On my car, I only needed the plastic connector itself so I carefully removed this piece using a very small "eye-glass" screwdriver and replaced with the salvage piece.

AGVI,
If you are talking about the ORIGINAL style connector for the choke wire, go to your local NAPA store and ask for a Choke Heater Repair Wire. I don't have the part # handy but I can get it tonight if that is what you need.

Thought you might have been changing over to a holley or edel and need need diff connectors, the blade type connectors work fine with a holley elec choke.

Thanks to all.
