I recently saw a picture of a 1950-216ci with what appears to be a condenser mounted to the coil bracket/clamp. My stock 1953-216ci truck doesn't have this mounted at the coil and was wondering why it's there on the other engine and it's purpose. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 | back in the day, it was common to hang condensers (capacitors) off the coil and generator to suppress electronic noise from interfering with the radio. that is probably the purpose of the condenser you saw. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 22 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 22 | The condenser mounted on the coil, was to suppress the radio noise produced by the ignition, and plug wires.
I am sure if some had the condenser, and others didn't, it was because all didn't come with a radio. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 47 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 47 | Thanks to all for clearing that up for me. | | |
