Greg: No, that connector was simply an eight-way connector which can replace the c-shaped connector if your original is missing. The connector internals (terminals) are the same: Packard 56 (aka gm 56). You can remove the plastic connector "cover" by carefully depressing a small tab on each terminal while gently pulling the wire/and terminal out of each connector socket. I searched the internet last night for replacement c-shaped connectors and they are not available as far as I can tell. They are still used on aftermarket turn signal switches and on vintage Signal Stat emergency flasher units. However, even most of these had bare terminals and would require using your own c-shaped connector. In the end, you can use any connector you want - it all gets stuffed up under the dash.
