Condenser on my 73 240 Alternator

[jharvat]

I was getting ready to remove my alternator tonight so I started by disconnecting the wiring. Unfortunately, the brittle wire for the condenser snapped off in my hand. I assume that you can buy replacements but is there a specific type I need to ask for? Not sure if all condensers are created equal or not.

Here's a pic of the one on my car before I trashed it.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

It is there for Radio Noise Supression - I wouldn't worry about replacing it. Any Radio Noise suppressing condenser that fits will be fine - if you want to replace it.

FWIW,

Thanks for the response, Carl! I thought that might be the case but I wasn't sure.
