Sources for Chrysler type wire terminals
Thanks to @67Dart273 for warning that sometimes Chrysler type and Packard 56 terminals don't fit in the connector cavities meant for the other.
That's exactly what happened today when replacing the Packard 56 terminal shown above with the Chrysler style.
Photo1. Packard 56 terminal poorly crimped to the field wire. (repop engine harness)
Wire crimp seperates the strands instead of compressing them. Possibly the terminal was for 14-16 gage wire, and the wire is 18 gage.
Second crimp is on wires instead of insulation and too big to grip.
Photo 2. Yazaki terminal similar to Chrysler style installed.
However the 56 connector would not lock solidly onto the new terminal.
Photo 3. Original 1967 Chrysler connector on left; Packard 56 connector on right. Not the same.
The new Yazaki Chrysler style terminal locked in solidly to original 1967 connector. :)
