I made my own car camera mount, and I am currently using a "knuckle" to
mount the camera. The problem is I have to unscrew it everytime.
I would like something with a tripod style top, so I can have a few of
those plastic pieces on different cameras and easily swap them out.
What would one of those things be called? |

A "quick release". A small part attaches to the bottom of the
camera using the tripod mounting hole, and this slides/clamps
onto the main part of the mount (which is attached to whatever
you want - usually using the tripod mounting hole in its bottom).

Right but I want one without the tripod attached so I can attach it to
something else.
Is it called a head? |

It's called a quick-release plate, or quick releasde for short :-)

No - a "quick release". The top part goes on the camera, and the
bottom part goes on a tripod, clamp, or anything else you want with
a suitable mounting screw on it. The "Q-R" is generally compact and
adds little weight unless "heavy duty" - and many are quite cheap.
There are photos of the bottom half of one on a brace I made for use
with my small HDV camcorder (it's the piece at the end opposite the
handle), at -- http://www.donferrario.com/ruether/brace.htm
