Default Re: Old style distributor

Sponsored Links (Register now to hide all advertisements)
I have the old style distributor. I inserted the old style condenser in the distributor, locked it down on the passenger side, as well as used the screw and fiber washer on the drivers side. Was not getting any spark. I did the condenser test, and it says "condenser grounded". Coil tests good. I then went back to my original set up, connecting a new style condenser, from the firewall to the hole on the backside of the old style condenser. Set the timing and it starts up. I want to be able to use old condenser. I hear that the condenser needs to be "attached to the lower plate". I have put the screw and fiber washer on. Is there a wire or something that should connect from lower plate to that screw? Will be able to go look at it again in hour or so.
