Hi I am new to roadsters. Someone else started the restoration of my 67 1600 and I got a box of parts with it. Anyone recognize these parts? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Recognize these electrical parts?
The rectangular part looks like a ballast resistor and the other is a condenser that is normally mounted to the side of the distributor. Both are components of a points ignition system and often removed when installing an electronic ignition system.

I believe the condenser in the photo is meant to reduce the interference to the radio and is mounted to the firewall using the same screw as the ballast resistor.

^Ditto and it usually connects to the coil.

Re: Recognize these electrical parts?
Are the "points" condensers generally shorter in length than the am radio static suppressors?

They have a different mounting geometry and likely different performance characteristics.pebbles wrote:Are the "points" condensers generally shorter in length than the am radio static suppressors?
