condensers

[Retro-gone.]

is a condenser a condenser?

 

i mean are they all the same internally, i have a brand new one but the fitment is different as its for a motorcraft dizzy and my dizzy is bosch, i can modify it to fit providing itl do the job.

save up your pennies and get a electronic ignition from bestek.

 

they arent cheap but youll never have to fanny around with points and condensers ever again.

 

best thing i ever did to my escort was bin the old ignition in favour of a electronic one.

some of us older gents prefer points and condensers antz.

stone age technology mate.

 

no one writes on slate anymore..why?...because paper is easier and better

antz does have a point tony lot's easer

 

i did'nt even know they still made point's and condenser:roll:

[Mr Sam]

what Antz said......buy my pinto cuz it comes with a leccy dizzy no amp module though

 

give it a go and see what happens? do they mount on the outside of the dizzy like crossflows

[lee_capri]

if it is a jelly sam it is a silver thin box that go's on the inner wing

 

i have this set up on a pinto from a serria work's well

[Fishtailparka]

It will probably do the job, but why not buy a new one for what they cost.

you know me lads im 30 years behind everyone else

Not me, nasty old unreliable things. Like flares and tank tops, they're best left in the past

basicly yess and as long as you can hook it up and make shure its connected to some sort of earth it will deffo work, atleast it did on mine.

 

And there's nothing wrong with running points dizzy's. Old skool rules every time.

When you get an ignition failure in the midle of nowhere I'd rather have a points type dizzy, even without a condenser you can make it home....

 

Converting to an electric dizzy also means changing the resistorwire in the loom and changing the coil.

Electric dizzy share the same shaft play issues but on a points style dizzy you can convert to Lumenition where at this point the shaftplay won't cause problems anymore.

Hall sensors in the electric dizzy are known to break.

im goin electronic when i go pinto less of a pain starting

[Muttley MK2]

Yes any condensor fitted correctly will work when I was an AA man I only carried two types BL and Ford. Fitted them to everything

[escort21]

Well ive had a new Lumention system die on me and an H&H ignition solutions electronic dizzy die on me and both times i was stranded....I now run points everyday and carry a spare points/condensor and i can actually fix it if it breaks....i'm with you Mr Glam
