- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.A little inexpensive device that would help you measure accurately the inductance of your coil and the capacitance of your condenser and determine their condition. See here:https://lulis.org/2019/07/17/%d7%9c%d7% ... 7%94-coil/and for better understanding of the ignition circuit and its components read the articles tat begin here: https://lulis.org/2019/05/14/%D7%92%D7% ... %91%D7%9C/luli
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.There is no bulbholder and there is no solder. There is a new (any type) surplus condenser off anything that comes in quantity at reasonable cost and it's a simple case of attaching any terminals to it that make a secure connection to two crocodile clips. Nothing more. Unfortunately the poor resolution of photos here […]SHyslop
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.I can understand the crocodile clips and the piece of wire soldered onto it but what is the other bit, looks like a bulb holder but I guess it is something else..Willem
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.Thanks, I will make up something on those lines.I had a condenser fail back in the 60s on a three year old MG1100. I was stymied because I was getting a spark at the plug, but under any load the engine died! The man in a yellow van diagnosed it correctly, fitted a new condenser….job […]David2021
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.For the best part of probably 15 years or so, I've been carrying one of the attached (picture) in each car with points. I buy a job lot of condensers and fit them up with leads and crocodile clips and put one on each car. If you suspect a condenser is faulty, no need to […]SHyslop

- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Timing, points gap etc.Certainly a possibility. My distributor is a Lucas"E90" ie an exchange unit. Unused until I bought it a couple of years ago. It is the original pattern with the condenser fixed to the base plate.How do you test a condenser? If it is faulty I could probably rig up a condenser outside the distributor, or […]David2021
