Condensor quality is crap these days, unfortunately.  Perhaps have a look
at your points and coil, if the dwell is too long or the coil is too high
energy, it could be frying the condensors.

Perhaps time to look for a cause the capacitor gives up. Apparently it 
handles to much power. Also have a look at the coil.

I refreshed my condenser and points with a set from Advance Distributor.
Everything came wired up, I just had to screw it in place and adjust the
dwell.

After getting stranded with a rotor failure last summer, I have the red
rotor now, and I'd like to replace the distributor cap and coil, keeping
the old ones as spares in my boot.

Any thoughts on sourcing a side-entry cap for a 66 BJ8?   Are the ones from
Moss any good?

Hi Ira,
This guy did an autopsy on 3 condensers, and confirmed they were all crap - p=
oorly made, poorly designed and families waiting to happen.=20
http://www.nonlintec.com/sprite/cap_failure/

This guy also says all the current ones are all crap, so he makes his own, a=
nd tests them before he sells them.=20
http://www.distributordoctor.com/distributor_condensers.htm=20

Are you running the correct coil?

Best
Chris

Based on a previous post I ordered 10 from him. I need go replace the old
stock Lucas one I put in there. New correct coil. But I think it may be the
source of problem. Going go out my old sport coil back in too.

The only distributor caps that I've had consistently good results with 
have been Lucas brand.   Moss has Lucas brand caps, as does BPN:

http://www.bpnorthwest.com/distributor-cap-lucas-bj7-to-bj8.html

I've heard of some shenanigans regarding inferior brands being re-boxed 
in Lucas boxes--supposedly available at flea markets--but neither Moss 
nor BPN would do that.
