AlanT Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hi All, Does anyone know where to buy a high quality condenser & points? I've had a shocker with electrical parts. Just had to walk home, collect an old condenser, replace at roadside; misfire, backfiring and stalling immediately solved. Recently had a new coil fail (after 20 miles). I need quality! Thanks.

johny Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Oh Dave for NOS I think of stuff that was manufactured around the time our cars were in production or at least during the time they were supposed to last (10 - 15 years after that?) so any condensers that meet that definition will be at least 30 years old by now...
