Hey Giz,
Yeah I've been pretty lucky to...Never had a condenser go, but have had 2 coils failed.
Always check and recheck timing first when youve had the fly off. Check via arrow and TDC as I've had a false mark before and a few unmarked.
Make sure you always change the lead(as they are often green right through) Most early car leads work well and are the right diameter. And ensure that the screw goes in square and spring has good tension.
Occasionaly the pin doesnt hit on the coil point when its screwed in to, sometimes the felt has been replaced with something thicker, and Ive even had the coil contact below the outer casing!
Also, NEVER forget the fibre contact washer when you strip the points assy, Yup I've dropped it a few times and scratched my head for an hour as to why it wouldn't spark after Id rebuilt everything...DoH! Lols.
If you can get the coil mounts off the ends, sometimes the poles are just a mass of rust oil and moisture and can hinder contact.
Anyways, glad you got her chugging...they are really good engine to play with.
As for site hack, dunno...If its one of my posts, its sure to have heaps of Gibberish! Lols.
