Good quality points and condensers

[Ken Young]

Hi all, 

I had a nightmare taking my GT6 to the MOT this year after getting her out of winter hibernation.  Changed the points and condenser as part of a service and ended up breaking down close to home because they were rubbish. Eventually ran back home to get the old ones and re-fitted them to get me home. Can anyone recommend a good source of quality points please.

Have you a AC Delco dizzy or a Lucas item? I am not sure if he stocks AC Delco Parts?

[Ken Young]

Thanks. As far as I know it's the original which I think makes it a Delco.

Anyone who thinks they have broken down because of a "bad condensor" should just remove it.   They 'go bad' becasue they break down, conduct electricity and short circuit the points.    The ignition works perfectly well without a condensor - the points just arc more and will wear away in a thousand miles or so.

Should get you home!

That's interesting John. A quick test is just to remove it then (only run NOS ones now, so hopefully not the very regular issue it has been).
