Brothers car used to go through condensors till he switched to the burn out proof ones you get these days. That was in the mid 80's.
Currently the car is running the same points that came with the car in 1970. Using the original type parts and a high strand count wire from a modern (in 1970) ignition system.
The modern style new condensors may not be the best quality these days. I would wonder if A&L is getting higher quality parts for their product then the 'modern' condensors you buy over the counter. Another reason to keep original maybe?
