bad condenser caused my car to buck, cough and run rough on acceleration.
Not sure about how, but Ii will confirm it ran like crap when they failed.
replacing with an old stock Lucas unit, got me home until I replaced it
with the HD one from the Distributor Dr. Do a google search. It's a real
thing.
