I need to get a set of points and condenser for a Bosch 050 dizzy. It looks like the correct points (Bosch 01 030) have been NLA for a long time and even old stock has dried up. 01 011 (I believe these are the same as used in most stock 914 dizzies) will work and are available. So which condenser to get? I'm assuming Bosch 02 054 (also stock 914 part) to match the points rather than 02 086 which was original for these centrifugal dizzies. I'm also guessing it really doesn't matter, but what use is having access to the world's greatest 914 brain trust if you don't use it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks all. Is it important to match the condenser to whichever points you use? My guess is no and they only differ slightly in their mounts, but thought I'd ask.

Hopefully, I'll only need them long enough to troubleshoot some ignition issues with my freshly rebuilt engine.

Condensor (which is really just a capacitor) sizing is pretty much the same. You are correct that the functionality is largely the same and differs only by mounting.

Public Service Announcement Since there have been several cases of late that accidentally fried wiring -- Condensor & Points connect to the NEGATIVE side of the coil
