ignition condensor

[5quarter]

so im gonna replace teh condensor on the stock 24v ign. is there a difference from using a 12v or do i need to find one for 24v?

I have been old by many that since they are working off of the high voltage the coil sends to the plugs, it doesnt matter on voltage for them...BUT I list a part number for the 24 volt one:
Condenser: AL869
and the 12 volt one:
Condenser: AL868


I do have the following part number:

Not true.....the points and condensor are on the primary side of the ignition system. Not the secondary where the plug wires and high voltage are.

The contact points and condensor, handle 12 volts, (or 24 in this case) switching the negative side of the coil off and on to cause a collapse of the magnetic field in the primary windings of the coil and then a high voltage surge to fire the plugs.

Thanks for the truth.

Thanks for the truth.

No problem, hope it didn't sound too tough.....kinda like Jack Nicholson: "You can't handle the truth!"

[brute4c]

No, no, no....I just have heard theory and hadnt thought it out myself...so many have told me so many different stories...its nice to get the truth...refreshing!

Frontline and Franks Surplus both have lots of 24V condesors if you need a place to get them.
