What you have appears to be the Casco-style lighter socket (minus the knob, element, or retaining sleeve). A replacement is available, and can be found on P.69 of the current Ames catalogue (P/N A274NF), and it includes the wire. You'll want to confirm that you indeed have a Casco-style cigarette lighter element & knob before placing an order, though. See the diagrams in the Ames catalogue.

Reason for thinking you have the Casco-style vs. Rochester is that I just received a new Rochester-style cig lighter kit from Ames last week, and the lighter socket that I received does not have the openings closest to the threads like yours does.

The wire for the cigar lighter on my 66 is orange. Hope that helps!
