While I was putting the new condensor in my distributor I realized the green wire was just shorter than the stock unit I was taking out. I had to bend the flange on the condensor so that it would sit better on the distributor. When I did this I accidentally pushed in the metal a little bit on the condensor.

Will this ruin the condensor? Is anythign spinning inside? It may have been dented in 1mm or so at the most. I can take a picture if needed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I took pictures. Any thoughts?

Also, when I changed the condensor the green wire which sticks inside the distributor so the electrical wire can attach from the points had a "square" plastic black piece rather than my oem "round" black plastic piece. I had to shave the side down to fit into the hole. Is this normal? Are the original ones not made anymore? And lastly, the green wire was almost too short from that plastic clip to the condensor. It is tight around the distributor where the condensor needs to mount. It was 1/2" shorter than the stock wire.

Thanks for all the help,
Bryan
