Take your time. I’m not sure what the condenser is for. The can above it is the voltage regulator for the gauges. I would recommend replacing it with a solid state regulator. I have replaced one in my 69 Fury.
I bought it from a gent on fleabay.

Good luck on the project, that looks like a solid car unlike a lot of the cars around here. Keep us posted!
Have I mentioned yet how much I hate electrical gremlins. spend 3 days trying to find the dome light delay relay. Any way solder on all new bulb sockets for the gauge cluster today
last weekend I also put a new blower motor in that was pain even more annoying is I have take the finder liner back out because the cage started rattling. Took the fender liner to work and sprayed it
lastly my friend got his film back from getting developed. All these photos were when we went to the drive in outside Portland to see Barbie movie opening weekend. It was packed! The wagon idle for an hour and a half on 95 degree day didn’t miss a beat

Been a while and wanted to document my newest project on the wagon. The nightmare that is the rear tailgate. So here is the list of problems needing fixed
A.Gate will not lock
B. regulator is seized
C. Installing new motor (it was missing)
D. Get gate mode to work
E. Shed a tear
I have tested the motor I got off a member here
and it works and the wiring is good. Heres were the fun starts. Trying to take the rear glass out has proven to be hard. I unbolted the regulator and got the glass free from that. But can’t get the slide Channels off. The screws just spin the rear washer/nut is there any trick to it? Here’s a bunch of pictures in the mean time till I get some of the gate insides

Got the regulator fished out and soaking it in PB blaster along with everything in the gate. New goal is to get the damn gate into gate mode. Seems the linkage is all moving freely but the left side latch is frozen. More Pb blaster for it. Once it gose into gate mode I will be able to loosen the glass guide rails and pull it out. Then I can take out the lock mechanism and see what’s frozen in it.
My dad saw the regulator on the bench and got sucked into freeing it. So now I just gotta get the hardware and mount the motor. And more good news had my friend kick the gate while held the switch and we got it free
rear gate still is not put back together so I may as well Procrastinate and do other work. Decide this weekend to add headlight relays, high beams where randomly going off and on so hope this will fix it. Also took the glove box door off… well it kinda fell of and found some fun rust. Sometimes I wonder why I get myself into these situations :/

Hi. It's funny that you should mention the rivets on the fender tag. I am considering a 1970 Suburban and the tag is also riveted. Is this proper for wagons for some reason? I am an A and B body guy and they are are always attached using screws.

Calling or attention. Hes asking for Doug to chime in. Both screws and rivets were on 1970 C body tags.

Ok. Understood. The 70 I am thinking of has the rivets painted body/radiator support color. I feel better about it now.
I think, that the rivets were Belvedere plant only?
Not all of the cars from belve had the rivets but most did receive them.

@69CoronetRT Am I correct with what I stated above? I hate posting information that isn't true and want to know the facts as you know them.
