In a few years, I'm planning to revamp the electrical wiring in my car (again; I've already added an alarm, power locks and a power hatch release) in a few years to accommodate a MegaSquirt, updated alarm, and a few other goodies.

Frankly, I've gotten to love crimping my own terminals (using the right tools, as well as soldering). The trouble is that though there are sources for the 1/4" quick disconnect terminals and odd-size quick disconnects for the engine bay fuse box, I have yet to find the correct terminals for things like the dash board switch gear (cruise switch, headlight and wiper switches and Logicon).

Though I could reuse the existing terminals, you would run into issues with not having the correct gauge wire or right color wire to work with, and splicing can become a major problem if you don't have enough material to work with.

So far, all I know is that the terminals are similar, but NOT identical, to the Delphi Packard Metri-Pack 280 series. I've looked at terminals used on Japanese motorcycles and through Digikey and other vendors and so far have struck out.

Does anyone know who supplied Mazda their electrical terminals during the late-80s to early 90s? Or what type of terminal it is?
