Default Pigtail for TCC brake light switch connector

Could someone please tell me what kind of connector or what part # connector attaches to the cruise control pins on the brake switch below (labeled to pcm and 12+). I can't find this thing anywhere. The parts house ordered one they thought would work and it doesn't fit. I can't seem to find it anywhere and I'd prefer to have the actual pigtail that fits on it rather than crimp on two wires.

I'm not sure what it's called, but it looks like this. I usually grab them at the pick n pull and crimp new terminals on them.

Yeah, that's it! I can't find a part# for one of those anywhere. I may just have to crimp some insulated connectors onto the end of the wires for now until I can eventually get to a junkyard

you should be able to find the connector on most gm late 60s-80s as long as it has cruise contol. through napa i only see the stoplight switch connector available part # ec1111, but the pins are further apart. i personally used 2 insulated spade terminals.

I believe those are older style Packard 56 series connectors and terminals.

That looks like it...and no more talk of "pigtails." :-)

Via psi harness intructions I dont want purchase a tcc switch because my car has it already here. So where would I splice into on my stock TCC break light switch for the Purple wire and Orange wire from my Psi wiring harnesses. This is the last connection needing to finally move this car.

I’m not putting a tcc switch in my swap. My tuner told me he can do it all in the tune. At certain mph the converter can lock/unlock. Seems a lot easier to me.

Its not so much for it to lock up as It is to unlock it. During normal driving having it lock and unlock at a certain speed is fine, but in a panic stop when the wheels lock up, it will be like not pushing in the clutch pedal when stopping, it will stall the engine. With the switch hooked up, it unlocks as soon as you hit the brake pedal. Its 2 wires, really worth it in my opinion to hook it up.
