Capacitor
« on: February 20, 2015, 02:58:32 AM »
Where do you guys buy replacement capacitors? I'm referring specifically to the one mounted on the generator. Mine had an original Motorola brand on it and it crumbled to pieces when I removed it to clean the generator. I can't seem to find one for sale. Anyone have a source?

They show up on ebay pretty regularly. I got some NOS one a few years ago.  If the car had modern plug wires, the capacitors are not needed but if you're going for authenticity they're nice detail to add.

When you find them on ebay, they are often listed as "Noise suppressor"

Thanks guys. I'll try EBAY using a search for noise suppressor and condensor.
