I have purchased them repeatedly at both PepBoys and Kragen. They are
often sold as Ford connectors or some such. They are not stocked in the
same place as all the other spade connectors are but instead in the
specialty wiring section. You only get a couple or so per pack and they
cost more than they should. I'm not sure what crimp wire size they are
for but I solder them if needed.
