Hey, there you go! Interesting, it’s supplied as a generic tubular condenser with an application-specific mounting bracket.. makes sense, I suppose.
The basic AL869 part was apparently used in numerous Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth and AMC / Jeep / IHC vehicles (plus many others as well) from the 1940s through the mid-70s when electronic ignitions became the norm (would have been around 1975 or so).
A little searching turned up a whole boatload of cross-reference parts, one particular source listed all of the following codes: DCC-32, AL-111/T, 14000, 71469C1, AL869, AT14684, G124, 2103, AL111SB, 6K6, AL1531, 409 and AL531. Be forewarned – I have not vetted this list – but so long as the value is ~0.22uF with sufficient voltage rating (400 AC) any should work..
In any event, they are widely available on eBay under several different part numbers, for around $5.00/ea inclusive of shipping. The AL-111T seems to be one of the most common types sold.
