MikeZcar Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The ZX alternator has a condenser mounted on it that was tied into the ZX wiring, have no place for it to plug in on 240. I have removed voltage regulator from '72 it had a condenser mounted next to it ,,,,,,,,,, Do I need condenser? If so where does it need to be plugged in?

blu240z Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I didn't use the condenser when I swapped mine over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eec564 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The condenser helps filter out noise from getting to the rest of the car. It'll help keep efi systems stable and reduce radio interference, mainly AM. The case of the condenser is bolted to the case of the alternator with a spare ground bolt, and the terminal (wire with connector) goes over the battery terminal. It's not critical, especially with carbs, but it doesn't hurt anything and the ZX alternators all have them, as far as I can tell. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
