Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeSeeing as how most folks do not have a failure analysis laboratory available to them, we do not see any info of exactly what/how in the condenser failed. Most of the time (if the condenser actually failed vs 'I touched all sorts of connections & things in changing the condenser & don't have a clue what was really wrong') it will be a short or intermittent short (temperature). I say this because many, not all, engines will run without any condenser at all (but weak spark) which is like an open condenser, but none will run with a shorted condenser (like points welded closed). As to wrong value, I claim that not running due to wrong value is almost a big "never", because I have personally tried values from 0.01uF in increments, up to over 55uF(generator noise suppression cap) and still have a running engine, Typical ignition condenser value is about 0.2uF. Note that I didn't say points won't pit with wrong value, just that engine will usually run.
