I have 3-4 nos condensers in fomoco boxes, and a few loose. There are at least 3 different size scripts and part numbers on these. If I get a chance to take some pics I'll post them.

Did one of the condensers have the part number on the condenser body itself rather the tab?

Hi Jim Mason,

Here are pics of the box that my condenser came in.
Pretty sure the condenser is in my original unrestored car that was in
judging at Dallas 2008. Car is in storage in another city.

Thinking that FoMoCo parts were post Model A Ford era replacements.

This one has the oval, but fomoco inside, small part number and no markings on the tab, this one is obviously later production year.

The 2011 revised standards call for a black enameled body, with bronze lug. Beginning in Aug. 29 cadmium plating is optional. the grounding tab had no markings until july 31 when a lengthwise ford script was added.
