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. Bryan |

Buy a new one.... the capacitor depends on air as an insulator and you now have the metal plates pinched together without the airgap. My distributors have the square notch for the wire to slip into.
