65 instrument cluster radio capacitor

[Ronald D.]

Request information regarding the correct connection of the three radio capacitors attached to the back of the instrument cluster. I want to make sure that I connect these correctly. I have consulted the 63 shop manual and section U69 of the 65 assembly manual but I still have questions.

First I believe that one capacitor connection is easy to identify and get correct as it is a male-female connector.

Capacitor number 2 is located behind the left hand side of the cluster near the ammeter and the assembly manual indicates that it connects to one blade of the ammeter. Perhaps the outside blade, not sure. However, can someone tell me which blade or wire of the ammeter this capacitor should connect to?

Capacitor number 3 is located behind the right hand side of the cluster near the top and has a push pin connector which lances another wire to make its connection. This arrangement is shown in the assembly manual which says to connect it to a tan wire. Can someone tell me which tan wire?

Any help with the proper connecton of capacitors 2 and 3 would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is there a good supplier of a qualily reprint of the assembly manual? My reprint is washed out in areas and difficult to determine some of the finer print.

Thanks

#2 is connected to the outboard blade of the amp meter.
#3 goes on the tan wire of the e-brake warning bulb (the other wire is black w/ pink tracer).
