So I put in new blue streak points and condenser in the 78 shovel today. The points work great but the condenser didn't work at all. I put the old one back on and I was back in business. This happened with a condenser I got from napa too, I just figured the napa one was bad. Am I missing something? Are these things hit and miss? I was surprised the blue streak condenser didn't work. Thanks for any input.

 

So it was user error. The connection was shorting out to the nose cone. I flipped the connection clip so it was facing outboard and she runs like a charm!

 

 

Just glad I figured it out and we're back up and running.

 

And if you ever find the need, 6 cylinder Chevy points fit right in there too, ( and every auto parts store carries them.)

Glad you figured it out.
