What am I missing on the voltage thing? I thought there was no such thing as a 6 or 12 volt condenser.I know they are different on microfarad rating,but I thought the condenser didn't care about the voltage.If you are using modern type points and condenser I have seen a lot of troubles with the new condensers.Ask the Mustang boys about the trouble they have been having in the last few years.For me,working on old tractors and such,I'm not changing a condenser unless it is a problem.I have more faith in a 30 year old one than a new one.If you buy new ones right from Ford you are going to get the same one you would get from Tractor supply,Steiners,Napa,or any other vendor.
