When I worked for a foreign car repair shop in the 1960s, the most respected
mechanic there had a policy of never changing a condenser. It was his belief
that if a condenser was still in good working condition, there was no reason
to change it. Given the dicey situation regarding reproduction parts, this
advise may be doubly wise.

Gergo -
Aside from improper gaps, this is a somewhat abnormal yet painfully
normal situation with contacts and condensors. There were times that
I burned through condensors just like you back in the 1980s and 1990s
before I finally changed my religion about contacts... Just another
good reason to go with Pertonix.
Ok... FLAME AWAY!!!
