Is there a simple way to test a distributor condenser out of the car? =20

After many years of easy driving, my Healey suddenly quit on me, without =
warning.  Fortunately, it was in front of my home after coming back from =
the local drive.
I found a sticking float valve on the front carb.  Cleaned that out and =
tried to restart without success.  Next I looked into the distributor, =
and after cleaning the points and cap it still would not start.  I =
decided to change out the condenser which I know from past experience =
can go bad.  That seemed to make the difference. But, I have several new =
and a few used condensers in my inventory.  I would like to try to test =
them to keep the good ones and reduce my clutter of unusable parts.

Any suggestions other than installing it in a car to see if it works?

Thanks,

Ron Fine
