Default Condenser/Capacitor ?????
I am restoring my 1971 4-speed corvette and need a replacement part. This part connects to the instrument cluster wiring harness and the steering column. It looks like an ignition distributor condenser but the wiring end is different. Rather than having a U type clip, it has a blade type connector which connects directly into the wiring harness. What is this part and where can I get one? The local Chevy dealership parts department cannot identify it, neither can the service guys??

Help please

Reminds me of some used in the mid-years, like in post #3 below used in the brake light switch circuit.

I think it's used for radio noise suppression.
