The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Looking for options on modern points and condenser

My car came with a spare distributor, all set up and timed to the engine. In case of a failure all I had to do was to drop it in.

I have had good luck with Blue Streak points and condenser in my distributor that is set up to use the modern points and condenser. Although a person on the forum was complaining that the new components from Blue Streak were not as good as they used to be. I found some new-in-box points and condenser at a sale.

I have NOT had good luck with electronic ignition. I cannot help you there.

My first Model A, bought in the 1960's, had original Ford points and condenser. They were still in the car 10 years and thousands of miles later when I sold the car.
