Default 12 volt condensor

Hi Guys

I have been experiencing some power problems when driving my 1942 MB Willys Jeep. It appears when I accelerate and the jeep is put under pressure she loses power, but as soon as I shift down and increase the revs she drives OK again until the next hill. I have checked everything from Carbie to coil, plugs and points. I then had a thought, when I changed from the 6 volt to a 12 volt system I changed everthing to 12 volts except the condensor in the distributor and I was wondering if I should have put in a 12 volt condensor. Could that be causing my problem. Has anyone out there had a similar problem when converting to 12 volts.

Cheers

Tony
