Capacitor attached to 1960 Ammeter
Does anyone know the purpose of a rather large ( 1/2 " x 2" ) 200vdc capacitor that is attached to one post of the Amp gauge and a GND lug at the back of the instrument cluster on my 60?
It has always been there and I'm unable to find it shown in any schematics or wiring diagrams. I'm wondering if it's a necessary item, or could be safely
removed. Is it part of the grounding scheme that is throughout the car,eg. braided straps ? Also ,somewhere in my foggy brain I seem to remember seeing this
item offered for sale. Any body else had the same dream?
