Miss fire

[BUBBAS IGNITION]

Mail man dropped it off a few minutes ago.
Off to the machine for a inspection:

Point gap looks and checks good.
Adapter plate is properly mounted.
Checked point operation with ohm meter etc
Mounted the unit on Allen tester.
Spun the unit with load , dwell on each set of points was perfect!
Idles at 500 to 600 rpm =perfect!!!

Reved it up to 2000 and "shit" it only has part of the cylinders firing !!! Needs all eight arrows to be good.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grabbed my test vertex condensor with jumper leads , hooked it to case and power and all eight cylinders fire!!
Removed condensor and used a condensor load tester , condensor shows a little week on capacity but actually passed the test, until i did it two or three times !!!!!!!!!!

Now i feel bad for sure, its back in the box and back out to graderman !!!!! I can only assume the condensor came with the adapter ??????

Our policy is that i want all our work to run better than perfect!!! When it dont we do everything in out power to make it work!!
And then i ask for every thing to be sent to me for a total test and load session etc. many times it is something done at the install end but sometimes the adjustments went south for who knows what reason. I told graderman to get it all to me and i would test , fix ( if needed) and return the day i recieve it....
I really do want our product to run good on your car every time!!!!

I will follow up on this post.....

Bubba I have full confidence in your abilities and craftsmanship. I'm betting there is a simple solution. No worries from me .

It looks like we might have to make our own condensers sooner than later. It's a real shame that with all the technology we have today that it is so difficult to make such a simple old tech part.

Actually my friend down the street has made his own for a while. Its the .36 vertex style i sell. Problem is he has to make approx $8-10,000 dollars at a time.

If youre not concerned about how stuff look...get a capacitor meant for inductionheating stoves.
1200v rating comes in .2 to .47uF values and cost $2 a piece.
But it shure doesn´t look right with a grey square plastic package.
But they work great !!

Thank you so much for such a quick turn around. I will choose my words very carful, with that said many years ago when these old cars were affordable for us here on the farm to learn how to drive we would keep them running . Thanks again Graderman!!
