Denny, those huge condensers Mallory used to be famous for weren't always the cure for point-burning problems. The lagging point would be the one that might burn on the circuit break, since it will be conducting after the lead point opens. If the condenser is over-capacity, the leading point would arc as it closes, completing the discharge. It's pretty tricky, matching condenser capacity to a specific application. Automotive-type condensers generally aren't available in very many different capacitance values. If you chose to find a suitable capacitor from an electronic-parts supply source, you could probably custom-tailor a capacitor to a particular coil/point combination.
