Re: How to test a coil and a fuel pump

I had a bad condenser (- although it was a NOS from Kanter) which only played up when hot and even then, more at high engine revs. Total brief loss of firing for a few seconds, which when it returned caused a massive after-fire as gas had built up in exhaust.

Suggest swap it first for around $10. Even if not the problem, you'll have a spare. I thought it was a coil problem and forked out $80 for a new one which didn't fix the problem. But at least I now have a new coil and a working spare coil, which is original one! BTW, I also tried another original 1951 coil and it too was ok, suggesting that these very old coils can be OK despite being 60-plus years old.
