NAPA should have one for you. However I have no idea about the correct one for judging. If you get a condenser manufactured in modern times, you should be fine. I bought several recently, I think they were Blue Streak. I took one apart and it had modern materials inside, no paper. I am happy with that. My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .
