Sorry about your luck, Charlie. I think Gene hit the nail on the head. Quality condensers seem to be in short supply lately. I would say that the points aren't what they once were either, but the condensers are very "hit and miss".
Last week I tuned up one of my M's (IH battery ignition) and less than 2 hours later the tractor started spitting and missing. I barely got it home. The points looked like they had 500 hours of use on them. I had more new parts, but wanted to see what the issue was. I put the old condenser back in and with considerable filing on the new points got them usable. According to the hour meter I've put 31 hours on it since then and the tractor runs fine, and the points look nothing like they did with the "new" condenser. The new tune up kit I installed was another fine product from the company that begins with a "T" and rhymes with "Nabisco".
I have run into issues with C-IH, Tisco, A&I, Calco, TSC, and Farmex tune up parts in the last couple of years. Some issues are worse than others. Some parts don't even fit. Some make you want to puke.
The only reliable condensers I've found locally lately come from NAPA/Echlin, and until their parts let me down or I find something better, that's where I'm buying my ignition parts.
If anyone has any leads on where to get decent condensers with consistent quality or any quality ignition parts for that matter, please let us all know.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
