Condensers

[Bored&Stroked]

Question: Is this a new HC build . . . or an existing one? There are a lot of "tricks" I use on these older distributors - primarily to ensure that the "yellow" secondary plate doesn't leak high-voltage to all sorts of bad places. There are two versions of the secondary coil plates - one tends to have more problems than the other and even NOS ones have been shown to have issues. If you find issues with misfiring on the four plugs that run off the yellow mid-plate, then the only real way to fix it is to replace the plate, modify it or put some modifications/tricks into play.

I highly recommend that you run it up on a distributor machine with your actual coils and plug wires - you may see some very interesting results related to the secondary side. Also, try to NOT run any sort of noise suppression wire - as they will increase the resistance from the cap to the plugs and this increases the likelihood that the secondary high-voltage will find "other places" to jump too - versus your plugs.

Now, if you have a great running unit that only needs new condensers, disregard my babble!. LOL
