midway down the wire on the condenser is a black plastic block, with a spade lug on it, that seats into the distributor body. The points then connect to that spade.
I'm trying to fit a new condenser. So... how the heck do you get the black block (say that three times fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) out of the distributor? I thought it would just pop out, but I've applied as much force to it as I dare, and it hasn't budged. Also it looks like there may be some kind of retaining clip on it, but space is so tight I can't really see for sure what is going on down there. Thanks |

Unlike Chebbies, condensers last nearly forever on VW and Porsche vehicles. In the nearly 40 years I've been servicing them, I don't think I've sole more than about 25-30 condensers. The only time they need to be changed is if there is excessive metal transfer in the points.
