68 bronze
Hi, New member, longtime vette owner
I've had the fortune or misfortune according to some of owning 3-68s over the years. The one I have now I've owned for 38 years. I started a body off many years ago and trying to finish. I am puttting the dash back together and I am stumped on the brack light switch capasitor wiring. It is a two wire capasitor that bolts to the break light switch. The wiring for the switch is an orange and a white wire (orange is hot). Does it matter which wire of the capasitor goes to which wire of the switch? The manual just shows the the capasistor being scotch locked in a loop to the brake light switch wiring.
