I have a modern points/condenser plate (Nurex) and wanted to grab a spare set of points and condenser at my local Napa store.
Would someone please share the correct part #s for these?
Thanks!

Upper tier Standard Product Blue Streak points are available from O'Reilly's and others. These are copper plated, have a different (harder?) rubbing block and a felt wiper to lube the cam. The part number is FD8183V. It is on the right, compared to the cheaper points.

Installed on a Nurex plate.

Great. Thanks. Any insight on the correct condenser (6V)?

I use:
Ignition Points: NAPA Echlin ECH CS755

Ignition Condenser: NAPA Echlin ECH FA82. Carry a spare. Easy to change out if needed.

Ignition condensers are not voltage specific (thankfully). They work the same on a 6 volt or a 12 volt car.

For the NuRex plate, when I go to an auto parts store, I tell them I am looking for points and condenser for a 1973 Ford LTD with the 400 CI V-8 engine. That gives them something to punch into their computer and show you the part options to choose from.

The Blue Streak condenser is FD77. But I did have one of these fail, so....

Great. So an equivalent application might be just as well.
Thanks for the assistance!

I have had good luck with the Blue Steak points and condensor. I consider them top quality.
