My '64 convert is missing 3 capacitors (condensers), the one that attaches to the back of the oil pressure gauge (brown wire), the one that attaches to the back of the ammeter and the one that connects to the turn signal flasher on the fuse box.
I've read all the threads on capacitors and understand their function but have not found answers to a few questions. Question pertains to the best source for the missing capacitors. Most of the usual suspect vendors (LIC, Paragon, ZIP, etc) carry them and they are about $20 each. Some vendors state that their capacitors have the "correct markings and numbers".
That said, is it worth getting these - from a judging standpoint they are obviously new repros but...will they pass inspection? If yes, which vendor is best. Re functionality - do these repros actually work or are (as one private vendor suggests) filled with mystery sand?
Simply stated, I am looking for advice on purchasing the capacitors. Is it worth the $. If they work as intended and get a pass by judging I am for buying the repros. If not, I've noticed auto parts stores carry "AC Delco" replacement capacitors for about $6 each. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
