The job of the condenser is to absorb the voltage discharge of the coil and prevent the points from arcing (burning).

Be sure to replace the condenser

We were always told to check/replace the condenser if the points were burning as well. It"s a cheap maintenance item.

Check your voltage to the coil with the ignition in the "run" position and the engine off. If there is no ballast resistor in the ignition wire and it's a 12-volt system, you'll get a full 12 volts to the coil, which will cut the life of the points way down.
