There is a radio noise suppression condenser under the dash at the resistor block. Would anyone know what this part number is. I can't find it any of my books. For 1936

RC-1, available at NAPA.

If you are installing this condensor to eliminate any perceived static from that point, make sure that it is adequately grounded thru the painted body surface or installing it will just be a waste of time.

Not looking to eliminate noise. I have a couple that are NOS that go elsewhere on the car, trying to make as original as I can. I just can't find that Ford part number for this one.

Old capacitors isn´t a great idee...especially if you don´t need them...
Old papercaps draw moisture into them during storage and may short out causing problems.

It would be correct to NOT have the capacitor in question since it is optional. It is possible a second oil gauge capacitor was used for this optional location. Have you checked the Ford Service Bulletins for 1936?

Perfect. It is a B-18227, an additional Generator Condenser if the others don't solve the issue. Now on to find the elusive condensers
