Achim,
When my race car was fitted with a Mallory dual poit distributor by AH
specialist Rawles Engineering, they fitted a standard external condenser as
they were aware that the Mallory condensers cause problems. I have had no
problems with this set up.

Last year I changed the distributor on my BJ8 to a Mallory dual point.
Since then I had the third breakdown on the road due to a bad points
condenser.
It begins with some short interrrupts during cruising, then, usually
after a stop at the lights or during a passage of stop and go the car
begins to hickup on accelerating, firing backwards and I have to look
for a save place to stop, before the engine completely dies down .
The first time, after about 1000 miles, I was towed home and checked the
whole fuel system and the carburettors, before I found the real cause,
now it is only a routine work of some minutes.
But I wonder, if it is only fate or if there is anything wrong in the
ignition circuit?
