Thanks, "drolston". I have been looking for that returned condenser for a while, but it never showed up. I guess I now know why. I'm glad it worked out for you.
"squirrel" on the "H.A.M.B." did a little research on the "intermittent condenser problem" mentioned and found that the connection from the lead wire to the the internal workings of the condenser was faulty. It was held in contact only by the crimping together of the condenser body. It would be fine when tested statically or with the engine not running, but when the engine was started, the vibration from the running engine would cause the connection to become intermittent and fail. This why you can run into failures with multiple new condensers.
I do mine differently.
