A diagram of where the condenseer can go as well as other possible changes over 90 years. You can see where the condenser can go as in Purdy's response #2... Key to the thumbnail below... Possible changes over 90 years..
1. Polarity may have been changed .
2. It may be now 12 volts .
3.A fuse may be present
4 and 7. The wire to the coil may be changed and ignition circuit not pass through ammeter ( as did the very early Model As)
5and 6. Wires to ammeter may be switched if polarity has been changed .
8. An ignition switch may have been inserted between junction box and coil.
9. A ballast resistor may be present..
10. The wires on the coil may be switched,
11. The pop out switch may have been replaced
13. “Modern” points which have the condenser on the upper plate may have been fitted
