Default Capacitor

I've recently been restoring a 1961 corvette and I have a yelllow capacitor that came off the back of the console cluster. Any idea where I can purchase a new one, and what it connects to?

I checked Grossmueller's, the were not sure what the capacitor was for, but they are going to investigate. We did eliminate the fact that it was for the radio. It's was connected somehwere behind the console cluster for one of the guages. Any ideas what it was for?

I am assuming that the capacitor that you are referring to is the one across the back of the instrument panel lower cluster. The leads go from ground (post on the cluster) to the ammeter battery lead on the oil and battery cluster. It is used for noise supression when the car has a radio. Radio delete would not have this capacitor.

If you still can't find them email Jack Humphrey - JackHumphreyH@comcast.net
