Re: Condensers Testing

quote Wedgie:

What kind of plug wire did you use?

When I replaced the spark plug wires, I used copper conductor wires.

I also changed the plugs I found online where the Champion J11C plugs are recommended for this engine. When I went to the parts store, they didn’t have the J11C’s but had an Autolite replacement (#295). I’m not comfortable with that given my lag of spark.

So here’s my plan of attack…

1. I’m going to install the new condensers. What the hell, since I have it open, why install 66 year old parts when I have new ones 🙄
2. Clean, install and gap the points taking extra care to achieve a precise .020 setting and making sure all connections are solid..
3. Replace the Autolite plugs with the Champion J11C plugs.

I’ll post the results.

Thanks to all for your posts.
