Well, I guess I'll know soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I adjusted my points and cleaned things up. I went to sstatically set the timing like usual and my test light was staying on continuously, which I think means my condensor is bad. I have to be at work in a few hours so I didn't want to make the drive for the Bosch condensor, I ended up with the intermotor unit, which doesn't look promising bit if it doesn't work I can return it, and it has a warranty anyhoo. Is anybody using this brand? Thoughts? |

Don't know about that brand of condenser but the light staying on is characteristic of the points closed, not the condenser. The condenser is a capacitor which only affects the electrical response when the points open and close real fast like when the engine is running.

Yeah... That makes sense. I just changed out the points and condenser anyways.
The intermotor condensor has a tab on the back side of it which isn't letting it sit flat against the distributor therefore not allowing the cap to seat properly... I guess its time for the dremel, or return it be fore I modify it. |
