Thanks for the help. I have an incomplete version of the 1970 FSM, but I've been through the EE section. It don't think it shows all the condensers.

For example, the circuit diagram you posted only showed the condenser mounted on the distributor. They didn't include the one on the coil attached to the positive side (crudely grafted onto the the diagram below):

And they didn't show how the tach connects! At least not until 1972, and it was still cryptic then!

You're welcome. This is strange indeed.

The images I posted came from a parts book CD I purchased from Courtesy Nissan about 15 years ago. When I picked up #957 last year it came with a two volume original 1970 FSM set. The body and chassis volume is dated November 1, 1969. Strangely the L20A, L24 engine volume is not dated, but it does show the early version of the EE-71 diagram with only one condenser and no mention of other engine electrical condensers. With #957 I also got one of the 1997 reprints (for the N.A. Vintage Zed program) of a 1970 FSM as a single volume. Even that one shows only the one condenser in the EE section.

Yeah, weird. Another example of the original wiring diagram for the early cars falling short of accurate. The whole reason I started this journey! And I think I'm approaching the end. The mistakes being uncovered up are becoming less severe and less frequent.

I'll have the new rev out soon. Changes to the horn system, some power distribution stuff (grounding scheme), and of course, the condensers.
