Default Re: Not getting fire!! Won't start. PLEASE HELP FAST!!

Hey Tom W. sorry to get off the main subject, but a friend was having a problem with his distributor and when we had the rotor off we watched the points open and close the spark would get real bright sometimes and dim other times. Would this mean the condenser is going bad? The points are the modern type with the condenser on the top plate. The motor was running rough and the #3 spark plug was not firing. We changed the distributor to another and the engine runs great. Dose a condenser go bad slowly or just quit?
