Default Re: points do fire....

Is it possible that the 20K volts from the coil is getting to the condenser? E.g. could you have a short or wrong wiring that allows high voltage to enter the condenser? If so, it could exceed the voltage rating of the condenser and burn it out. The burned out condenser could then cause the points to spark and burn.
