Jack's Comments:

This is a perfect reproduction of radio interference suppression condenser that was on all Fords in 1965 when equipped with a factory radio. in 1966 Autolite changed this to a smaller rectangular condenser and moved to the inside of the alternator.

This condenser is not included with our 1965 new reproduction alternators.

Last picture shows a NOS condenser from the Bob Perkins Collection.

Common questions from customers:
Q: Do I need this suppression condenser for my cars electrical system to function correctly?
A: No, it's only to control the static produced by the alternator. Your car will function just fine without it.
