Condenser/Coil Compatability

[Roger W Gerow]

My favorite car is a bone stock 6 volt positive ground 1951 Ford V/8. Without any other changes, can I install one of Bubba"s $32.00 condenser and the "Blue" Bosch 12 volt coil?

Roger,

You could but i wouldnt suggest it.
The 1951 Ford loadamatic is one of the best ignition systems ever made, especially when used on a stock engine. NAPA ( Echlin) makes some of the best parts for the distributor ever made and they just dont have any problems when ran with these good parts.

CS753 CONTACTS
FA66 CONDENSOR
FA78 DISTRIBUTOR CAP WITH BRASS CONNECTIONS
FA67 ROTOR

AND IC8 IGNITION COIL

I use the air cooled VW Bosch coils and matching condenser . In the VW business for 45 years and may have seen 4 failures.
