Default Re: Condenser Problem?

Belated thanks Bubba and rotorwrench. I replaced the broken resistor but still get no spark at the sparkplugs. My son-in-law, who is a mechanic at a used car dealership plans to help me this Saturday. I have a question though.

In my conversation with Mr. Patrick in 2013, he told me that I should use a #400 condenser which I could get from Speedway and to use two of the point sets used in the later Ford V8’s, set at @ .024. Should this NAPA condenser work OK in this case and could it be used permanently so that I won’t need to remove the Mallory distributor if/when the condenser fails in the future?
