Why is it always weird stuff that breaks?

[Lynn Eades]

I spent a bit of time on the Ford Barn Forum and I learned:
1.That a lot of people are having trouble with modern condensers.
2. That many Ford coils fail, even NOS ones, because the insulation breaks down. (they often work until they get hot)
3 that modern contact sets (points) fail due to the springs.
4. A bloke called Skip Haney (famous on Fordbarn for rebuilding water pumps) also rebuilds the Ford coils.
5. A lot of other useful stuff that Chev guys wouldn't understand. (I'm not really deep into this brand war)
6. That our Forum is a gem of good manners and friendly to all.

Some of the above swayed me into the Petronix set up for which I have no regrets about. All you need is a reasonable condition dizzy and the cam doesn't need to be perfect. The module just senses off of the lobe- nothing touches it. You do need the advance system to be in good nick.
I have a Crab dizzy in which the new base plate incorporates the front bearing (a plus!)
As Tony points out, there is no Condenser in the system. Two wires come out of the module (dizzy) and both go to opposite sides of the coil.
Sadly Petronix don't know me, and I don't get anything for the promo, however some of my friends will have a more satisfying trouble free Ford.
