1963 AM radio - turn signal capacitor (brass tab location)

[Daniel J.]

I have a early '63 with AM Radio only. (The AIM I have is for AM/FM radio cars).

I am trying to confirm which slot the brass tab gets inserted into of the turn signal connector.

I found an old post in the archives, but is not clear and I want to confirm it plugs into the middle slot of the connector in the row that has three slots.


Thanks for any help, Dan

MMMmmmm....not completely sure what you're asking, the capacitors for AM and AM/FM are the same....this is from the 63 AIM and the turn signal electrical switch had the capacitor attached thusly. Its pretty clear to me its the middle terminal:

The AM and AM-FM capacitors were not all the same. The AIM has a section for AM radio which shows the location of capacitors for AM and a section for AM-FM radio. There are some differences.

My AM/FM car doesn't have a capacitor at the turn signal switch.
