<html><head></head><body>I'm pretty sour on Lucas Sports coils, since the last one I bought only lasted about a year before leaving me on the side of the freeway in rush hour traffic. I replaced it with a Pertronix coil that seems to be working much better so far (about 8 years and counting).<br>

Condensers do have several ratings, including equivalent series resistance (aka ESR). However, I believe most condensers for points have similar ratings. The main question is whether they physically fit the hole.<br>
