Default Re: Condenser mount

I mount the condenser on the switch side of the coil on some of my model A's . This will be the side of the coil that uses the red wire if the wiring is original style . This isn't necessarily more reliable but is an easier place to remove or replace the condenser . The condenser may run cooler and last longer . While its not original , I do like mounting the condenser in this manner . I use the last condenser that Ford used on the V8 engines before going to electronic ignition . This is the modern condenser that is offered by most model A parts vendors . This condenser is usually available at NAPA or other modern parts vendors . The condenser can be used on either six or twelve volts . I like mounting the condenser in this manner and it seems to last just as long as the original .
