The component ends are a standard part which should be available 
from any number of places in reasonable quantities. It is just a tin 
plated flat blade .110" female terminal with locking tab. There is 
probably a specific part # that AMP supplied in 1968, but I'm sure 
that there is a current production item readily available.

I have a handful of these that I bought in Japan, and my local auto 
repair shop carries them as well.

Only the ECU ends are special.
