The Echlin RR176 is the one I used in Bendix mags a lot, not to get even MORE off course. I don’t think it will mount well in an OMC universal mag, though, as it mounts on its side. In my opinion, the OMC 580321, 580422 and the 581419 (OR THEIR SIERRA EQUIVALENTS) will all work on the universal mag with no obvious problems. Let’s face it: The original coils, which the condensers were engineered to be paired with, are all long-gone, anyway. Who knows what exact condenser goes with the Chinese coils? If you run engines 24 hours a day or service emergency equipment, go by whatever number is the proper one. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s going to matter much. Again, my condenser saying, stolen from the Post Office: “If it fits, it ships.”
Long live American manufacturing!
