It is the condenser on the outside of the distributer. Mounted just next to the coil. It must be some kind of noise suppressor. My car is a negative ground system. So it should go to the positive on the coil?

Need a little help. Can someone tell me does the condenser go to the positive or negative side of the coil. Thanks in advance for the advice.

This is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone. Needing some help on my 1954 Packard Cavalier Fuel sending unit wire identification. When I bought the car it did not have a gas tank. I am installing a new one and there are two wires hanging from the rear of the car where they have been cut. I assume one is for the tag light and the other for the fuel sending unit. One appears to be black and the other either yellow or a dingy white. I could be off on those colors since they are cloth and falling apart. Is there a way I can identify which one is which or can someone tell me what the factory wire color is supposed to be? BTW the motor is out of the car and it has no power so I can't test it at the moment. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Kev. It took me a while but I just finished reading your blog. Very inspirational. I'm using it already for references and help. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Amazing job you did.

good information. Thanks for the info! Very much appreciate it.

I'm sorry. I should have clarified. The outer door handles. They have a long retainer clip holding them in. According to the manual you are supposed to slide the clip forward about an inch to remove the outside door handles. Problem is mine is rusted to the inside door.

So I've searched through the forums regarding the door handle retainer clips and can't find where anyone has addressed removing the old rusty ones. Mine are STUCK! Anyone have any suggestions about removing them?

Hey thanks everyone for the information. The radiator repair guy told me that he fixed two holes and found two more but every time he tried to patch if it got bigger and worse he said. I though maybe he just didn't want to take the time to mess with it and even considered a second opinion. I mean it really doesn't look that bad. Thanks again everyone

Thanks, I'll shoot Gerry an email.
