Do make sure the bracket for the condensers is held tightly to the vacuum brake adjustment nut. Bubba sometimes leaves the nut loose for you to adjust the brake. Also the vacuum brake adjustment assembly to the distributor body should be tight. Are you using the 40 Ford ignition switch? H&C want both coils to be fed from two separate wires back to the ignition switch. They wanted 12AWG for 6V coils (at least) I would suggest #14 for 12V. Make sure the ignition switch is fed from #12 wire back to the circuit breaker and all the connection points are tight.
