Default Lincoln V12 distributor / coil / condensor

I had my coil for the V12 redone to a 12 volts system. Is there a particular condensor I should be using or is the original style that came with the Ford 6 volts will work on the 12 volts system. I was told that for the condensor it doesn't matter. And if I need to have my distributor calibrated who is the best person here on the forum to do it for me.

Thanks
Frenchy

There is not a difference between 6v and 12v condensers if that is the question you are asking. Bubba would be the person to check with on the whole setup.

Jim at Bubbas rebuilt the distributor for my '39 LZ V-12 and Skip Haney rebuilt the coil (changed from 6 to 12 volts) and provided the correct condensers.

I use the vertex magneto condensors ( rated and tested at .36 mfds) for the lincolns , seems to be the best ever condensor as i have never seen a bad one.
As the lincoln is two six cylinder ignition systems in one distributor the vertex works very well.....
Machine set up on the Lincoln must be done on a tester as the two sides must be synced with each other.
