That car deserves OE spec double crimp brass terminals like every OE manufacturer uses.

I’m digging this build, thanks for posting, Wayne.
That's a good suggestion. Nearly the entire car is wired using the standard non-OE crimp connectors, so I was simply replacing / using what was previously in there before. In fact, I went to the car right now to try to find some non-plastic coating connectors, and it was a bit difficult to do that.

The goal is indeed to get the car running very soon without this turning into a 3-year total restoration. It's tempting to look this thing and say, "we need to rewire the entire car", and in reality, it could probably use that. But that would take a full 3-4 months and for this thing, I would rather only replace the stuff that definitely needs replacing and keep as much other stuff as original as possible...
