Default trash can condensers

i have two vintage mallory dizzys firing 16 plugs in elco twin plug heads. this is an 8ba set-up that i fabricated, one is in it's stock location, the other is on the other side. one dizzy has a pertronix in it, the other has a gm module. i can run either dizzy separately or both at the same time. (no improvement with both operating that i could feel "with the seat of my pants") not happy with electronic units and want to go back to dual points in each. hope "tubman" sees this and will let me know if his condensers will fit the bill, assuming they are still available. thank you!

Tubman is "the man" for a "trash can".

I got 'em. What do you need? $50.00 plus $10 shipping to board members.

I do PayPal at "[email protected]". I can get up to 4 condensers into a small USPS Flat Rate Box, so $110 for two shipped. Mine are warranted for one year, replacement or money back.

You might want to check with "Ronnieroadster" first; he may have a better deal, and mine don't have the detail on the top insulator (copyright problems).
