Still true today. When the points open the current wants to continue flowing in the direction it was i.e. through the coil (coil has x stored energy) on way to ground so theres a small arc at the points and X current for x time INTO the condensor. Then the condensor is charged up so when the points close the energy stored in the condensor causes an opposite direction current flow OUT OF the condensor. Nowwwwwww if the condensor is the correct size as matched to the coil,,,,the current/time it pumps out (when points close) should correspond to that which got pumped in (when points opened) so the pitting/wear should be nearly equal on BOTH sides. If thats the case that tells me the condensor is good and sized correctly buttttttttt if theres a big hole/cavity on one side and a build up/mound on the other side, I think the condensor is sized incorrect and/or bad.
That make sense to anybody?????? Im NOT swearing to this, but Ive read it before and it seems reasonable.
