Your's may be the modern style that has the condenser mounted to the top plate inside the cap.

Sometimes owners have removed the condenser from the distributor and mounted one up on the coil. Do you have one on the coil?

yeah looks like its up here, with a few wires going off it. I am going to pickup a new one and new coil pack and try that.

Great, glad to hear that it's running. By the way, where the condenser is mounted works just the same as having it mounted in the distributor, also keeps it a lot cooler.
