Hi guys,
Thanks for all the advice.
I went "shopping" shortly after I sent the original email as the
field is just across the road from the hotel. The usual outside
vendors were HIDING in the light rain. I found an inside vendor with
the correct condensor and went back to the hotel to install it -
absolutely no affect!
I then played with the distributor substituting various used point
sets and rotors I had in my tool box - again with no affect. Then in
a last ditch effort, I subbed in the condensor I took out 11 years
ago - mostly to prove that if it operated the same way, I did have a
condensor problem and the new condensor was toast, too. Well, that
old condensor while not perfect resulted in a much smother idle and
almost no sputtering when goosed. I left it in.
The replacement condensor while in a near perfect Lucas green box was
not shiny aluminum and showed much surface corrosion - probably worse
inside! $7 not well spent!
The OLD condensor will get me home and then I'll order up a bunch of
newer ignition parts - or I may find what I need on the field tomorrow.
Cheers, and thanks again.
Brian
