Default What is this?


And should I replace it while I have the opportunity? It’s a 66 Coupe btw.

It looks to be a radio capacitor. If you look in your AIM under RPO U69 your see all of them.

Looks like the brake switch radio interference capacitor as Nowhere Man stated. Either that or an M80 that failed to explode.

Terrible for those involved. That 66 was beautiful. The Laguna Blue 66 Coupe I bought was parked just a few cars down from those that were damaged. Thankfully mine was not involved!
