I have 2 modern type distributors.

One does great and one is eating condensers.

Just put in a new condenser into the "bad" distributor and found,
that it does much more fire, than the "good" distributor.

Tried 5 different condensers and all stays same.

More "fire" on the points of the "bad" distriubutor.
What is wrong?

I thought only way to kill condensers should be bad coil
(with some kind of short inside).

Any ideas ???

Thank you

best regards
Christoph

btw
If i disconnect the condenser, the engine stalls .
I thought it should go on, but points should fire than ???
