Choke wire terminals

I'm looking for a couple terminals to rebuild the wire going from the alternator to my choke warmer on the carb. It's the piece in the plastic plug that the wire is crimped to. I have the present one soldered and it's working fine, but I'd really like to have a couple new spares and a couple to rebuild the wire.
I'm aware that I could cobble up a crimp-on male/female trminal, but I'd prefer to go with stock parts if I can.
Any ideas/sources?

You want just the pin or its female counterpart?

Ford/Motorcraft used to have a catalog online full of every pigtail socket/plug you could imagine.
I'm sure it's archived somewhere on the web.

If you want just the individual wire terminations I would look at Digikey or Newark electronics.

Okay, I searched the web. (When all else fails, do a little work)

The part I'm looking for is a Ford Standard Block .187 Series. You can see it here:
Ford, Chrysler & Mate Lock Terminals

I'll check Digikey and Newark; anyone have a few laying around?

Thanks.

Try your Ford Dealer. They still sell connectors and terminals. There is a chance that the one you want is not obsolete and still avaliable.

Auto parts stores such as napa, also carry a variety of factory type connectors and terminals. But only by special order.

My local napa used to stock some popular ones, I'd be surprized if they couldnt get them next day
