Anyone have a replacement for autolite dist-- points CS16. and condenser AL71

Thank You

Can't help with the points but most any condensor will work. they are really not particular about voltage, # of cylinders, etc. Most all are between 0.23 and 0.28 mfd - just get a universal condensor.

Didn't we just go thru this on CS-16 a week or two ago? Check back, perhaps something surfaced there. If not, you can purchase a tune-up kit from Kanter Bros.

Again, hate to keep repeating - these parts are predictably beginning to dry up - estimate your future needs and get them while you can, voltage regulators, points, caps, rotors, generator and starter brushes, etc.

MaxMerrit has the points you need for $15 a set. I bought 5 sets.

Keep in mind, i think you can use cs15 and cs16 style points on an autolite dist, it has to do with how the points mounting area on the plate is, raised or dimpled. Napa has everything else.

I have CS-16 and CS-17 (Custom 8) points NORS if anyone needs them. Also have caps and rotors. ajhubbard-sp@sbcglobal.net
