I want to replace the lead on my distributor and wonder if there's a source for these "side-load" spade terminals? I couldn't find them on Mouser or Digikey but I probably searched the wrong terms.

I know I can buy an assembled "harness" from the parts store but... just me again.

Those are called flag terminals and are readily available. Distributor leads are also available from the various vendors.

Thank you!

McMaster also has a butt load of them ... if you want 100 at a time

Thanks again to you both.

Another episode of "Nothing's Simple", for sure!

After searching for "flag" terminals and finding what you shared, I reached out to American Autowire. Kudos to their sales rep who responded quickly, identifying the "correct" part as Aptiv (was Delphi) PN 06288411 and pointed me to Mouser.

He then followed to tell me they are not available anywhere! He was right! He also offered to sell me some if I was a previous customer, but I'm not.

I think this is another case of the market for these old parts is gone, companies being sold, and new owners making decisions.

End of the day, I will just order the $13 Standard Motor part from OReilly and accept the cost.
