Parts counter please....

Well after more research in the AM and pictures I have discovered I need this capacitor for the blower. M&H doesn't make it so so that leads me to the parts counter on here. Anyone got any suggestions or have one?

Thanks in advance!

Couldn't an auto electric type shop solder in a close replacement capacitor that would do the trick?

Anyone could add one from any electronics shop if we know the capacitance value. I should have taken mine to the lab at work to have it measured...

Oh yes, that's a given. I'm just hoping someone out the in OldsWorld has one. Boy those pictures and all the work you have done to Lady lately looks sgreat! A LOT of work. So how long did you let the bar hang on the back porch? If that was me I would have walked into it 10 times in the first hour

Noticed in one of your post back in February you said it might be 0.1uf.

That capacitor is found on every GM car that was delivered with a AM-FM radio, no matter what division. Start hunting them down in the salvage yards. Start looking at the Cadillac's first.

Wish I hadn't seen your pictures of the shocks. Now I'm going to have to take mine off and paint them

Thanks for the complements...

The sway bar hung there a couple days. Knowing that it is POR15, THAT keeps you from walking into it. Also it was super hot that day, so I staying inside most of the time.

Yes, it MIGHT. I do not want to recommend anything until I know for sure.
uF = microFarads. A capacitor's storage capacity is measured in Farads.
