Although I have sold a bunch to guys who have used them on "Helmets", "Crabs", and "Rabbit-ears" with consistent success, most folks consider them too costly for general use (and they are right).

However, if he continues to have trouble, I would consider sending him one "on approval" to see if it helps. The postage would be the limiting factor here.

As a matter of fact, I am going to discontinue making them when my current stock of components runs out. The price of brass and electronic components has gone through the roof lately.

I plan on contacting skip and sending him my coil and asking him about the condenser and ballast resistor like you said Lanny. Tinker, I have checked the connections on my battery they are good but I have replaced the positive ground cable because of the wire heating up, after the new cable was put on it no longer got hot. Again thank y’all for the help!

Does anyone know if this is still the correct information? I tried to call the “day” number it did not ring.

In your 1st post here, you say that you installed a rebuilt dist.
Was it rebuilt by a competent rebuilder, or picked up at a swap
meet, OR ???
The points in the dist must be set exactly, for it to work right.

Send your coil to Skip Haney in Florida to get it rebuilt better than new. He can furnish a proper condenser at the same time. About $80.00 plus the ride, but I'm not pricing his service by any means.

Alright guys, got my coil back from skip today and it looks great! I do need a new condenser though. Does anyone have good suggestions for condensers for the “dome” style distributor?
