Re: distributor condenser

And on some distributors there is a flexible wire connecting the points and condenser to the outside terminal. That wire is covered with a cloth insulation which may be rotten and easily damaged. Parts of the wire are sometimes hidden under some of the mechanism. When the distributor is disturbed such as when changing the points or condenser the old cloth insulation can fall off in spots and allow the wire to short -- sometimes in a place where damage is not easily seen. A shorted wire could lead you to believe the condenser is shorted even if it is not.
