Thanks David. He does not have them, But I found one at allfordparts. Hope it works.
Never realized this was a unique part for model B. I wonder why model A condenser will not work on model B. I could understand why a v8 condenser will not work. These cars are more complicated than I once thought.

Many condensers can work on a model b ford it just won't look right.

You are right, they look terrible. I have even considered selling my vehicle because it's "ugly". Maybe I should put a small block Chevy in? Having said that if you can't find the correct condenser get the best Model A condenser you can buy (probably the high end one from Bratton's). Make a pig tail to go from the condenser to the distributer. Elongate the slot in the strap at the end of the condenser slightly and install it. See the attached photos of mine.

Charlie,


What's truly ugly are the way-too-long head studs.:p

NOS B condensers aren't very scarce and in my experience work as intended despite their age.

Here is a photo of my existing condenser and mounting. I don't know if it is the proper original configuration?

I believe this is what you want B-12300, 0.20 to 0.25 mfd about the same rating as the 46-48 6 Cyl condenser which may be offered by NAPA, but it would not have the mounting bracket.

If it fits the hole you could epoxy the old mounting bracket on it.

Re: Condenser for 1933 model B
 

The mounting bracket is an electrical conductor Suggest soldering it on to another condenser, if need be.

Try the Model a suppliers like Snyders, Brattons, etc. since many Model A's are running B engines.
