You can test the condenser and clean/reset the points. NAPA probably has what you need if you have to replace. Posted on: 2020/3/20 10:25

I am using it in the holder I made for the 47. That car has Autolite parts and it works well so should be OK with Delco too. Posted on: 2020/5/31 18:23

Just checking Posted on: 2020/6/6 13:48
