dangling capacitor

[Karl K.]

I remove my instrument cluster on my 65 coupe and found a capacitor hanging loose loose from a blue wire that is spliced into a brown wire behind the rt side of the cluster. Trying to find out where to attach it to, it has a bracket with a screw hole.
Any help appreciated,
Karl

Karl
on page E371 - UPC U69 A5 of your 1965 AIM you will find the radio capacitor schematic. And see that your 1960960 capacitor attaches to a screw just to the left of the ignition switch in the lower right corner of your cluster.

Karl -

That capacitor attaches to one of the cluster can screws just above the temperature gauge - see photo below, and your Assembly Manual, section U69, sheet A5, item #6.

Gee Karl when I first read your title I thought we were in for a grammar lesson. I guess the Editor in me is still barely alive.

Thanks for the help! I'm still getting used to the repair manual.

Re: dangling capacitor

If you mean the Assembly Instruction Manual, good luck on that one. That book needs a separate instruction manual to explain how to find anything. An index would be a huge help. I think John H has explained the UPC system in the past, but I am too dense to make sense of it. However, once I have been able to locate the pertinent page, I can usually figure something out if I study it and think on it a bit.
good luck

Don -

Here's an article I wrote on how to understand and use the Assembly Manual - it should be helpful:
