Stoneridge has responded that their go-to guy is on vacation, so their
response will be delayed until July 12.  I see that Chrysler calls it a
Terminal Block.

I found it to be of no help so far to know what Chrysler's part number 
was for the terminal block, but it is 1253 425. You can tell from the 
number that it was not too much past WWII that they started using this, 
and according to my '55-'58 parts book they used it on every single car 
they made. It seems to have ended sometime in the '60s, meaning 
something like 15 years of Chrysler production had these.

I'd be surprised if many made it through the years without having their 
posts corrode, so it would be hard to think of a better part to 
reproduce. I'll look into it if there is enough interest expressed.
