I have a '58 Johnson 18 electric start also and need that connector. It's an odd one and I have not found one yet. Was considering making one.

Lots of luck. I have a 72 25HP. I looked for a year and a half. Finally found a NOS that as retiring dealer had. Contacted him thru eBay. Cost me $125.00 for NOS harness, key switch and choke switch.
They are very scarce, to say the least,out of production and not available from BRP.

It's easy enough to wire the motor, provided the motor is not taken off of the boat very often. 4 wires to the ignition and kill switch (2 from the magneto for the kill, 1 choke if needed, 1 ignition), plus one heavier fused hot wire and maybe a ground. I used Monster 4 conductor cable for the ignition, and it has not broken down at all due to UV or heat. Throw in a couple of 3 or 4 gauge in battery cables and you're done
