The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay More important news about the new condenser

Below are images of the new condenser in what I expect to be the final version of it. You will see it now sits upright and the lead (connection) wire is slightly longer. There are as I recall 2 or 3 of the other style (lying flat on the distributor floor) and those will be sold first. The orientation has no effect whatever on the operation of the condenser. The change is because I've learned these are being used in all sorts of distributors (old, new, inline 6, V8, you name it) and this style keeps me from having to try to customize condensers for various applications. In addition, it may possibly make it a bit easier to install. At any rate, there is plenty of room in the Stovebolt distributor (or others) and the only thing you need to know is that the lead wire needs a slight corkscrew turn as you see below. In the case of larger distributors, this lazy corkscrew turn may or may not be needed.

Thanks again for all the help and input. The shorter stainless screws have been made and delivered, so all is well there. If questions, please let me know. In a previous post I let folks know this part (the capacitor) has completely been sold from all US inventory supplies, and so I've ordered more out of England. They should be along shortly.
