Chris, The coil can't be lowered by more than a fraction of an inch. It will hit the line where firewall and the panel in front of the fuel tank meet. See photo in post #8.

So, for positive ground you would screw the condenser (using its leg with a hole in it) onto the positive coil terminal and have a spare jumper wire that would screw into the end of the condenser and connect to the body (positive) ground when you want to complete the circuit?

Here is the way I did it...as yet untested though...
The condenser is attached to one of the cowl seam bolts, and the flag end is loose for now, but the idea is to slip it under the nut that holds the red switched wire when needed....
The big question is, if it quits running, how would you know it's the condenser?
Just try it I suppose....

Found another schematic for negative ground which appears to be what we need. I don't recall that condensers are polarity sensitive. Perhaps 16 ga. wire would be ok for 6 and 12 volt for the short run ? Plenty of space on '30-'31's to turn oil filled coils terminals up.

?????? No.
Pretty much all condensers except ours have the mounting bracket/flange attached to the condenser body. Bolt the condenser to the firewall [ using the coil bracket]. Take the little wire coming out of the end of the condenser and let it dangle until needed. When needed just attach it to the coil terminal as in the diagram.

The condenser is mounted in parallel with the points. It doesn't make much difference where its mounted as long as it ends up being in parallel.

So, you’re talking about using a modern condenser on this configuration? I didn’t catch that in the thread.

Yep.
You are correct. The Condenser mounting in the neg. grnd. diagram appears similar to photo in post 24 for stock A wiring.
