Default Re: Ignition Issues, Crab distributor

After suffering through a series of bad condensors from napa on my crab in the woodie, I decided to switch to something I have used for 53 years without an ignition failure. My other hobby vehicles have been toyotas, land cruisers from the 60's in particular, but have had many daily driver totota pickups since 1971. Maybe some out there still think that Japanese stuff is junk, but they sure make good electrical parts. I have since been buying nos nippondenso condensors from late 60s-mid 70s. In fact I sent my last nos one to busmania along with the crab I sold him. Yesterday I received a package of 4 nos condensors for (if I remember correctly, a '71 corolla) I don't know what a microfarad is but these have 22 of them. I think that's about what we look for in our flathead fords. These were 11 bucks apiece with free shipping. 2 were in unopened boxes, other 2 clearly unused but no box. They come up often and I think this is a very good source for an inexpensive and highly reliable condensor.
