Shaun,

You'll have to refresh my memory...

Was it running better before you replaced the condensor?

Does it improve when you put the old condensor in?

Did you make any other changes besides the condensor?

Most ignition condensors should "work" on most vehicles, as
long as they mount in the same space. This is not to say that
there isn't a recommended value for use with a particular coil's
primary voltage and inductance value, but most should at least
work for a while. If the value of a condensor is too high or too
low, you may get some pitting on one side of the points or the
other, but this usually takes quite a while to develop.

the reason i'm asking is because i bought a replacement condensor and
installed it
but the engine would'nt start. i bought it locally from a napa dealer
and told them it
was for a '55 dodge powerwagon so they gave me one that looks identical
but
definitely effects the ignition in a bad way.i'm wondering if its a dud
or if i have to
order a special NOS condensor(?)
also can the oil filters be bought locally?
