Oil-Filled Condenser Mounting Orientation, Mallory 'Trashcan'
I picked up this large NOS Mallory 'trashcan' type oil-filled condenser.
By all indications, this will be the last condenser this Model A will ever have. I intend to connect it at the ignition coil, and mount it behind the firewall. Being oil-filled, I was wondering if there is a mounting orientation requirement. Oil-filled ignition coils (transformers) have a mounting orientation requirement, and maybe capacitors do too? When I google this question, I get a wide range of answers, from "no orientation requirements" to "orientation is critical". Ah, the internet Is someone familiar with oil-filled caps? Hoping to hear from someone in the industry (or is very experienced) who has knowledge regarding Design Intent and Good Servicing Practices. Construction: Non-polarized terminals (+ and Grd). 0.25MF 1500 VDC Can is not grounded. .
