Been there, joined the condenser a week club and discovered that they
are not cheaper by the dozen.
The problem boils down to the distributor body where it connects to the
block does not make a reliable ground with Mallory distributors. Works
with some distributors but not with others.
The cure is to add a ground wire between the engine and the distributor
body.
Now if I can just figure out what to do with this pile of spare
condensers that have been sitting around for the last couple years. I
got quick at swapping condensers along the side of the road though.
