Standard Ignition RC-2 Alternator Capacitor

Alternator Capacitor for OE-Style Charging Repair

Standard Ignition RC-2 is an alternator capacitor built for charging-system service on select Pontiac applications. It uses Mylar insulating materials to help resist electrostatic stress, and each unit is 100% tested so the finished capacitance value meets performance specifications.

Compatible With 1976-1977 Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina, Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeMans applications, this RC-2 condenser is made with OEM-style connectors for precise installation. It is a practical choice when diagnosing alternator noise, electrical interference, or charging irregularities on these Pontiac models.

Key Features

• Standard Ignition RC-2 alternator capacitor
• Mylar insulation helps protect internal foil windings from electrostatic stress
• 100% tested for capacitance value consistency
• OEM-style connectors for accurate fitment
• Contents: condenser
• Cross-reference: this part cross-references G137 and RC2 for the same application

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition RC-2 is an alternator capacitor used in charging and starting system service where stable electrical performance matters. It is engineered with high-quality insulating materials and tested during manufacturing to verify capacitance output. For 1976 Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina, Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeMans, as well as 1977 Pontiac Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeMans with the noted 80 amp alternator brush set application, RC-2 supports accurate replacement work in the alternator/generator system.

What It Helps Solve

• Alternator electrical noise or interference
• Charging-system instability caused by a failing capacitor
• Incorrect capacitance readings during alternator service
• Poor connector fit from non-OE-style terminals
• Repeat repairs caused by inconsistent replacement parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original part number and connector style before installation. Match the vehicle year, model, and alternator configuration to the listed fitment, especially on 1977 Pontiac Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeMans with the 80 amp alternator brush set note. Inspect surrounding charging-system wiring and terminals for corrosion or heat damage before installing the RC-2.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919. The RC-2 is manufactured with tested capacitance values and OE-style connectors to support consistent service results in Pontiac charging-system repairs.
