Condenser

Good morning everyone. I have a 1936 ford 5 window that I'm removing the more modern coil set up and going back to the original setup. I have just got my coil back from Skip and have the new condenser from 3rd gen to use but I'm trying to figure out the hook up part from the condenser to the coil. I see the condenser has a threaded end to it. Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Brendan, YouTube wanted me to sign in to check my age due to inappropriate material, what did you put in that video?

Condenser is attached to the little tab sticking out the passenger side of the coil with a screw. I have seen two different styles of grounding the condenser, one style uses one of the distributor mounting bolts to ground the condener and the second style uses one of the coil attaching screws to provide the ground.

Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking 37-41 style, not 36.

Brendan, I just checked out your YouTube video and it looks fine to me. The note YouTube put on the header of your video is probably a generic thing to cover their butts for legal reasons. I just clicked on an "accept" box and then viewed the video.
 
The condenser lays horizontal sliding into the hole at the rear of the coil. The condenser attaches to the coil with one screw on the drivers side into the threaded hole in the condenser and to one of the distributor bolts on the ground side.
 
Thank you all for your responses. The video was helpful as well. When the condenser is in the sleeve on the side of the coil, the screw goes through the brass hole thats on top of the sleeve and then threads into the condenser. I'm assuming, which is not a good thing, that a wire would then go from the screw to the coil stud which also will have the wire from the ignition correct? What type of eyelet for the wire would I use to make that connection from the condenser. I noticed that the brass on the inside of the condenser sleeve is about an eighth of an inch down from the top of the sleeve making it difficult to use an eyelet loop on the end of a wire for the connection.
 
No external wire! The brass washer is connected internally to the coil. Just use a screw and lockwasher for the connection.
