Well, it looks like it is time to consult the experts. I am in the process of rebuilding my B body steering column. I am putting in a new turn signal switch but, the "key in" buzzer switch terminals look to be in bad shape (The ones that plug into the turn signal switch electrical connector) any ideas where I can get these small female bullet connectors? The key in buzzer switch is part number 2947488.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Pop the metal connectors themselves back out of the plastic plug, wire brush and electrical cleaner, & slide the clean metal connectors back in the plastic plug….or el cheapo way….scratch up the inside of the connector with a safety pin, spray with electrical cleaner (safety glasses!) and repeat.
 
Thanks PurpleBeeper, but the terminals look like they were bent up pretty badly from a poor installation prior to me getting the car. So, I was hoping to replace them.

Search them as STANDARD MOLEX terminals. They are available in just two sizes. They are all around. eBay, Amazon, but electrical suppliers are the cheapest sources. Tipically sold in bulks on line

Back In the days you could go to a Radio Shack shop ( or any similar) and get them (Even in Venezuela, where I was able to find them loooong time ago). Dunno if you have some of those shops locally.
 
Both my 70’s have it. I guess. They didn’t work when I got the cars in the early 80’s. And I never looked to see if they were still there. The reverse lockout linkage was gone on the ‘Cuda, and I threw out the linkage from the Charger as it was a basket case.

They should go into the ignition switch Molex connector. May want to consider upgrading that ignition switch Molex connector to something that can handle the current there, is a weak spot in that system.
