[Roadsters] Was Engine test results, suspect distributor

[Pete Peters]

No. The condenser and ballast resistor are totally different electrical components (resistor vs capacitor) with totally different functions in ignition systems.

Try changing out your ballast resistor on the side of the distributor, even if 
new. I've seen this exact problem caused by this on a friends 1600.
