Default Re: First time poster... with a couple of questions.

Skip can rework/rebuild the coil and he will most likely advise you to get a new condenser. I'm not sure who is "building" condensers these days for these Diver's Helmet distributors. The old (even NOS) condensers tend to be dried out and worthless - so having a good condenser is a must. I use high-quality magneto condensers on my crab style distributor rebuilds (Harman Collins dual-coils) - they are expensive, but tend to be about the only ones I can find that last (at least in my world!).

I know that guys have retro-fitted non-original condensers to fit into these coils - you may ask Skip what he recommends and can he supply you with a tested setup. If it was mine, I'd modify a magneto condenser to fit (some fabricating, soldering, etc).
