Re: Hard starting when Hot

was just working on a 53 Stude, which coincidently uses pretty much the same distributor as concurrent Packard--same points, condensor, cap, etc. Anyway, started well cold, ran well cold or hot, absolutely would not retsart while hot. Went to the magic basement and pulled out a nice Standard Bluestreak coil and popped it on. Instant hot restarts.

A bad condensor will generally begin to break down and make for skippy running before you even notice a starting problem.
