Trouble shooting help - '46 Deluxe

[hueyhoolihan]

today i discovered why my car (1941 Ford Super Deluxe) would start only when cold. if it had been running for about 5-10 minutes or more and then shutdown, it would not start again until it cooled down a bit, and depending on a number of factors, that might take the better part of two hours.

anyway, the problem was a failing or failed condenser. neighborhood NAPA had one in stock for my diver's helmet distributor and coil!
