Restoration Supply has some listed on page 5 of their catalog (some are NOS):

I recently rebuilt a distributor using the famous repop multi-strand pigtail wire provided by the parts houses, only to have the flag terminal break when I bent it away from the upper plate.

Fortunately, I had an old wire from which I could salvage the original terminal. It worked wonderfully!

Those 100 wire flag terminals are junk. I always end up replacing them

No, the original terminals had a two part wire wrap, so one would wrap around the insulation and the other would wrap around the bare wire and get soldered, like Marco's picture that Mike posted. Sure seems strange that they are so hard to find. I'd also like to find some wide terminals like the generator brushes used.

Here's a picture of a simple jig I made to help me rescue terminals from a junkyard car. I cut off original terminals from 1950 Studebaker in the junk yard, but would do the same from a junk Model A harness.
