Default Re: condenser re-locating to coil

This was brought up some years ago by 42 guy who raced flatheads. Some electric guys thought that because of the distance there was some drop in mili??? Bottom line was that for drivers this was a good re-location. The first time we have what we think is sudden ignition problem we take the first and easiest try which is to replace the condenser. Many times that is the answer. On the side of the road at night this is no fun.
So my opinion is there is no downside. My 46 has been like that for 10 years and the one time it started bucking and running poorly a new condenser took care of it. Easy change.
