Default Re: PERTRONIX Ignitor Ignition 1940 ford Helmet Dist

Maybe more than 10 years ago I was working for a car collector that was driving his completely stock ‘32 V8 roadster to a car show in San Jose from Oakland.
Just as they got into San Jose(maybe 30 miles) the car started running crappy.
They parked it and took a cab the rest of the way.
After the show I drove them to the car and it started right away, ran fine and we headed back to Oakland.
After a few miles of driving on side roads it died. It was a hot day, we had lots of water. We poured water on the coil and it started n ran fine another couple of miles.
We had to pour water on the coil about five more times to get it back to Oakland.
Buy a new condenser, send your coil to Skip and drive that bugger
