I have a condenser mounted on the ignition coil bracket that is wired to the positive post of the ignition coil. This is on a 59 3204 with the 235. My guess, is that it is used as a suppression device for the AM radio? Curiosity is driving me here!

Wow ! Four condensers. I have no condensers in my rig. Maybe that's why my radio gets all funky when driving down the road. Ya think ?!

I see in the linked "old car manual project" that these condensers all have different part numbers. Does anyone know what the specifications of each one should be ?
Would be cool to get that sorted out.

Thanks for letting me jump in.
