The Standard Motor Products condenser and point set, here's the link: http://ecatalog.smpcorp.com/STD/#/vehic ... G-3?type=s

I don't see any electrical specs listed for this condensor. For Porsche applications it should measure out to .27-.32 microfarads. Same with the point set being any better than the currently supplied Bosch or Bremi.

I too have had condensor issues the last couple years. They seemed to last 2000 miles before taking a dump. I got so fed up I bought a Petronix.

The 2 Pertronix I bought each lasted between 2 and 5 years before they went belly up.
So, I switched to the electronic 123 distributor in both C coupes and haven't looked back.
