33-36 condenser is a NAPA FA-5, kind of. It has to be modified with an original condenser ground strap, solder it to the rear end of the condenser. You can view the condenser on NAPA web site. Very unusual to use an earlier distributor on a 81A engine!! The parts for the 37-41 distributor are more available and the mechanical advance plate of the 41 fits all giving a few more degrees of advance. If you happen to have a 42-48 style crab then Bubba is the guy for the condenser. He sells a magneto condenser that last and last.
