the reason i'm asking is because i bought a replacement condensor and
installed it
but the engine would'nt start. i bought it locally from a napa dealer
and told them it
was for a '55 dodge powerwagon so they gave me one that looks identical
but
definitely effects the ignition in a bad way.i'm wondering if its a dud
or if i have to
order a special NOS condensor(?)
also can the oil filters be bought locally?
