Also dove into the heater/Ac wiring. This is gonna be fun I hate crappy reworked wiring. All this just to find out the blower motor is fired

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.
 
I might have an entire dash harness that will work for you if interested. I'll check this weekend.
 
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

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
