Hey all.
I am 3/4 complete with the electrical on my '75 Duster. I am installing the Painless 14 circuit kit. Overall this is a good BASIC kit, but has MANY short comings. Short comings include:
1) Not including the terminal connectors like the rubber triangular plug that goes into the voltage regulator.
2) Rubber bulb holders for the side marker lights.
3) Correct internal electrical pieces to populate the connectors instead of having a bunch of loose blade connectors hanging under the dash.

Attached pics are the factory style connectors located under the dash. I am looking for the male bullet pins that are used in the two connectors under the dash. These are for the ignition, and the turn signal. Each is a 1 row x 8 position plastic connectors. The bullet connectors I have beed searching for on websites such as Allied, and Digikey. No luck. I have checked with Ron Francis, and Bill Evans, no luck. Attached are pics of the connectors. The yellow wire is a 12 gauge OEM male bullet connector. The red wire, is attached to an 18 gauge bullet connector. Somewhere out there, someone has these. I need 15 of the smaller 18 gauge male bullet connectors. 6 of the 12 gauge male bullet connectors. Anyone with info please chime in.

They look like Molex pins to me. I'd be very surprised if Digikey didn't carry them. If not, try MCM Electronics, I've gotten them there before.

There are similar male pins (like what's used on the fender mount turn signals), you should be able to find them at an autoparts store, or maybe even Home Depot.

checked MCM electronics. They must have purged their stock. There is only one page of male bullets, most are insulated components.
 
You could replace both male and female connectors with more common molex. Probably better than OEM anyway.
