Is there a place to buy the male and or female electrical plugs? Since I’m trying to use wires in the stock harness it would be nice if I could just buy the end I need to plug into the stock harness. Instead of cutting the stock harness and installing my own connectors. I looked on NPD and I can buy various harness extensions but that can get pricey for what I need.

What type of connectors do you need? I have tons of male and female bullet connectors that are the correct .157 bullet size. I also have the correct size terminal for the sending units,fender solenoid, cigar lighter,and gauge cluster stud ends. .few places sell the covers for the female bullets. Heat shrink or heart shrink and epoxy coated ends would work. I used pc epoxy on my terminal ends to make them look closer to stock. Shercoautarine sells any color combination stripe tracer wire you would ever need. Digikey sells all the terminals to rebuild the harness.

Some wiring ends that I made. From the SAE connectors I bought replacement ends from Lowes cut off the wires and used needle nose pliers to pull the connectors out. Then drilled through to rubber plugs very lightly so I could pull new wires through. Then I stripped the wires and crimped and soldered on new terminals. Put a dap of super glue on the terminals and pulled them into the rubber ends.
The 90 degree ends I used a new wire terminal Then coated them in pc epoxy sanded then used a sharpie to color the ends then coated them in super glue to finish them.

I purchased a factory looking two wire connector from NAPA years ago that I was able to splice in and it definitely looks stock. I think it was in the trailer parts section.
Single bullet connectors, both male and female, are available from several sources. NAPA has them in crimp on style (blue) and if you take a little time you can modify/color them with some self sealing tape, liquid electrical tape, or even a sharpie and they look stock. There are also solder on ones available from a bunch of different sources. Just Google "Ford bullet connectors".

I purchased single, dual, etc, plug connectors from "Sherco Auto & Marine";
The single style fit the original Ford female connector w/o issues.
I didn't need to mate the original dual connectors to the the duals that I bought.

Reading your reply again and I realized that the bullet connector for the cigarette lighter is too big to fit the stud on the back of the lighter. I was going to figure out what thread pitch it and bolt the wire down.
I’m searching for bullet connectors and there’s a lot to dig through but I’m figuring out what and how to search for what I need. Thinking I might be able to just get a couple of extensions and maybe one splitter. I think I have an extra splitter on my old harness. Think I now need to make a list of what I need.

Sherco sells any type of wire needed. Beleive they sell molded connectors. If not molded connectors.com sells a bunch and could be modified like I did by installing new wire and bullet terminals that or splice in the the wire connectors. I will go out to the garage after work at get you the part number for the 90 degree terminals I remember it being listed wrong on digikeys website. Digikey was where I bought all the terminals for my car. You can buy female bullet connector plugs looks like it might be a female female connector but that would still work for a single female connection or use the bare terminal and epoxy over it.

This is the terminal for the cigar and miscellaneous stud terminals throughout the car. I updated the earlier reply to say the correct website to buy the terminals from its delcity not digikey.
The only terminals I couldn't find there was the .250 female 90 degree flag terminals for the Headlight connectors those I had to source from some where else. Gm snap in 5/8 light socket fit the stock cluster in 65-66 and most likely later. I did how ever find a stock style metal replacement from rhode islad wire company. Ron Francis sells the dual contact plastic snap in light sockets. They also sell contacts for the sockets but other places sell big quantities fairly cheap dunno the site for them but if you Google trifive chevy light sockets you should be able to find them. If you loose the spring for the sockets light I did a pen spring work perfectly.

That's what I was shooting for. You can buy single contact bullet connectors from few different places. You could even re pin them with new bullets to make them look stock if you wanted. Believe sherco auto marine Sells them I know del city does Mac auto molded connectors.com as well as others. A female female could be used they sell them through brillman company.
.156 is the size you want. That or you can make them.
Also went that route with my custom engine feed harness installed new wires in place of the green and green with red stripe wire. Added a double SAE plug and now I have a positive for my electric choke and exciter wire for the Alternator. I still need to find a 1964 falcon, Ranchero, or 1964 1/2 mustang under dash engine feed plug or a used harness to buy for the ends and spare parts. For my exterior lighting harness I re pinned both the engine side and the under dash side. I under dash side I re pinned it so it has 14 gauge wires for headlights and also for the horns with relays under the dash.
