I've got the Ford-style regulator that Cessna and others used for
many years. The four Faston-style connectors enter through a common
plug body, and are retained in that body by a small clip on the
bottom of the Faston.
Where do I buy that style of Faston connector, with the small clip?
I've replaced two, now, as wires have worn, etc. with standard
Fastons, but then, the wires come loose when the regulator is
unplugged (which is necessary to remove my intercooler plumbing, a
long story...)
Thanks in advance for the help!

I've been installing these regulators with individual
.25" fast-ons on wires.
Individual fast-ons with the retainer barb are pretty
hard to come by in small quantities. If you wanted a
reel of 10,000 . . .
The auto-parts stores will sell you a replacement
connector module. These tend to be populated with
fast-on females that are un-plated brass of unknown
pedigree. The AMP PIDG fast-ons are pretty hard
and hold their grip well over time.
The replacement connector populated with terminals
will have pendant wires that need to be spliced into
your ship's harness. But if you have your heart set
on using this connector, here is one of many sources:

I recollection serves me well, B&C used to stock these
terminals for use in housings that mate with the rear
connector on their alternators. You might be able to
get a small quantity of terminals from them.
