Re: Condensers for 1941 120

The electrical value of the condenser affects ignition point life and ignition performance. I think most 6 volt application condensers will work OK on most any 6 volt system, but matching the original value as closely as possible will give best results. Old condensers can leak current through their insulation or dry out and change value. A fresh condenser of the correct value is best, if one is obtainable. Condensers can be checked for leakage with an analog ohm meter and some idea of their capacitance can be determined by how long one takes to "charge".
