Where to find the original Radio-connector?

[Jonas Nordstrom]

Im putting a Retro sound radio in my car and would like to hook it up to the original connector in the harness.

Then I would need this connector, but I have a hard time finding one.

There are many vendors for those. Just type Packard 56 conectors on google and will come. I used to have bookmarked the best ones but can't find them now

This is one of them ( the first one floated on on search )

yes, althought that is with the lock tab ( laters design ), will work on non lock system which is the one our 71/74 got. Will need terminals too. Some vendors sell those as a kit terminals included.

I bet it can be find it cheaper than the ebay vendor.

sometimes can be found on the HELP section blisters at local parts shops

for example...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/DELPHI-PAC...269532?hash=item58dc4ebc1c:g:rHMAAOxyiRlSbAh9

cheaper, terminals included and both ends

Really, I had a supplier of these bokmarked at my laptop with a bigger variety of these... up to 8 ways connectors... and some specific connectors for switches too, but can't find it now

Great stuff Nacho, thanks for the links.
yeah, will prolly need more as I am putting in new wires in the car, will also do your by-pass mod to the amp-meter.
The last thing to do now is to find a good Alternator.
