Re: Condenser Life w/ the Nu-Rex upper plate
Another vote for the traditional plates... I've been fighting getting my motor to run right for the last few months with occasional skips, touchy advance, and lack of power. I finally took the Dizzy apart last night after reading this thread and of course the "wireless plate" terminal was apparently shorting to the distributor body. Had a bunch of black marks where it had arced. I had an old lower plate laying around so I soldered a new piece of high flex wire too it and ran it to the nu-rex upper. Took it out for a test drive tonight and can't believe the difference. So i believe it was not only shorting when I touched the advance but also limiting some of the current. I'm still running the Nu-rex upper plate but am ordering condenser and points to swap back to original if that starts acting up.
