I tried an internet search for this and didn’t find an answer. Does anyone know the values/specs of a good ignition condenser? I’ve seen comments saying anywhere from 0.01uF to 0.6uF. That’s a HUGE range and manufacturing tolerances are much tighter than that, typically ~20%. My application is the S-code, but I’d be interested in the values for the other engines, too, if they differ.
I’m replacing the points and know a lot of people automatically replace the condenser too, but the new ones are supposed to be crap compared to the old. I don’t see a need to replace an old part that’s good with a new part that’s more likely to go bad sooner. I did measure mine and it’s 0.20uF, so I know what it is, but don’t know what it’s supposed to be.
Thank you for any replies!
