Points I get. But, if condenser is good why bother?

Great question, 30-9! I've always figured that the condenser was either "good" or "bad", with nothing in between. The points, on the otherhand, go from "new" to "old" over a period of time with no outright failures....more like gradual deterioration. So, I like you, only change the points on an ignition tuneup. and only change the condenser when I have a failure with that component.
Am interested in what better minds will say here on the Barn, thanks to your question.
P.S. You do have me by nine years and I'm hoping to still be working on my Fords when and if, I make it to 85!
