I would interested to see if the terminals in the 1st link would work. My understanding is they are designed for higher current

I BELIEVE that these ones are correct for the older cars. I don't remember seeing the other type used, at least in my 67, with that "fold over the end" lip style. Look at them carefully when they come out. The key is whether they have the "curled" edges along the two side edges
I had some of the "fold over tab" type and they would not go into my housings, bulkhead or other

These are what I used from my ebay purchase order a few months back. I replaced the bulkhead due to some melting and replaced connectors that didn't look good. These ones matched what was in the car originally. This was a 1968 Barracuda.

I don't know. Maybe Ma used a couple of different types of connector housings. Those females you pictured WILL NOT fit the ones in my 67. They MUST be the other type, "curled" along the side edges and with no end "fold over"These are what I used from my ebay purchase order a few months back.

the end fold over type are for senders that use a nail head type stud like your oil or coolant temp sender
I'd be finding out where that red wire goes...
if it is the feed to the interior light, id re wire the interior light... if the wires on the back short to the roof the insulation on the whole run down the screen pillar back to the switch gets burnt and you end up melting the connector.
use the old wire to pull the new wire up through the screen pillar and across the roof.
if its to the headlights well there is potentially evidence of a case of the wrong wattage bulbs being used at some point in the past
