Yellow are? Red is?
Anyone older than 40 can't play, as it wouldn't be fair.
@jim-frame?ÿ ...... the one mechanical question I've seen on this forum for which I actually know the answer, and am automatically disqualified due to my age... smells like litigation in progress?ÿ somehow. LMAO
@jim-frame?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿDid they go out of use that recently?
I can't find one on my wife's EV, wonder where they hid it? ????
Did they go out of use that recently?
I don't know when they disappeared.?ÿ I know that the 1951 unit I owned had them (but only 1 of the yellow ones), and the 1990 unit I replaced it with didn't have any of them.
Picked up a fresh-from-the factory Plymouth at the dealership on behalf of my employer at the time that did not have such a thing.?ÿ That must have been the Fall of 1972.?ÿ All of the mechanics were huddled around the car oohing and aahing and did not want me to drive it away.
Thus anyone under 55 probably can't remember one of these on a new vehicle.
One source says Chrysler was the first, starting with the 1973 model year.?ÿ Ford, GM and AMC started in 1975.
Points and condenser?
?ÿ
Im way under 55 but drove some junk over the years.
My '72 Chevy had one yellow and one red. The darned block must have been bored wrong, because it wore out distributors and the points needed adjustment every few months.
I don't recall my '78 having them.

Right under the Mr. Fusion box.
I've always wanted to track down the 'genius' who decided to hide the fuel pump in the gas tank.?ÿ Not sure what year that started.?ÿ What a gigantic pain in the rear and far more expensive problem to have than the 'good old days' of simply pulling out a bolt or two and installing a new one.
@flga-2-2?ÿ
It should be right next to the radiator...

Thought it was next to the little tank holding the supply of blinker fluid.
I don't know; but I do know you can set them with a matchbook cover, in a pinch...
Did anybody notice that's a dual-point setup??ÿ What in the world did it come off of?
