of course you are correct(quoted from post at 06:20:56 02/21/21) Most if not all the points and condensers now are made outside the U.S. and the quality is far below what we used to get. That is mearly my personal opinion and not gospel.
n keeping with the major "news" media and giving mostly 'opinion', kinda like these forums lately, I feel free to offer my opinion. When you used to run all day every day for years on a set of points, now you run a few hours a year & tractor sits most of the time s lowly but surely oxidizing points & that coupled with perhaps poor quality of today's products is why the big difference. Infrequent use is a huge factor.(quoted from post at 11:12:18 02/21/21) In my Farmall M after several sets of points breaking the spring I installed a Pertronix. I now have some 5? years on it and still running perfect.
I installed it in my JD 620 too. I was hoping for a little hotter spark. It always starts been a hard starter. Didn't seem to help but it still runs good too. When I need to change the points in the SuperM it'll get Pertronix. I'm sold on it.
ohn, my experience has been just the opposite. No condenser=no run and 55 microFarad=runs ok.(quoted from post at 14:17:46 02/21/21) I dont think I would go as far as NEVER but the better matched the longer point life. If the condensor is too large she may not fire at all,,,,,,,,,if too little or none or open she can still fire but points will burn rapidly......
