Walt G: Ann Arbor was also the home of Sinclair Powell (until his death in 2017) who wrote the Franklin history book. He lived not far from the U of M campus and used to have his Franklin parked in a garage along with several other people's interesting vehicles near Ypsilanti.

I know this has been mentioned before, but the Gilmore Car Museum is well worth a visit. Really amazing to see a whole showroom dedicated to Franklins!

That's great and reassuring to know--but why would NAPA not cross reference the same condenser (saying they have one for the Chevy but not the Franklin)? It makes one feel that they are somehow different since they do list the points for a Franklin and a Chevy--but not condensers.

Hi. (Hook) The numbers NAPA has for condensers and points are different for a 31 Franklin and a 50 Chevy. Is that because some '31s had towers (mine is a low distributor) or does this matter, or . . . ? Any advice would be helpful as scouring the old ACNs and such only reveal obsolete numbers! There are universal 6volt coils and such, but I can't find any specs on condensers--though one page mentioned .20-.25 microfarads. Don't mean to overthink it--just want to check! Thanks
