Electronic components that go bad in the first few percentiles of expected life.

I've often said that the chance of a new condenser going to crap are worse than the chance of an old one dying. So don't change the proven tried and true one. How many miles on each of Clint's bad ones?

AND, distributor work is easier and safer if done OUT of the engine. Bump the engine until the rotor points straight ahead, then one screw and one wire to remove it. Since you were going to re-adjust the points, and re-time it anyhow, not much additional work. Once out, dropping it into a stake hole in the bed makes a handy holder, right at close-to-our-old-eyes level. Do your internal fiddling, drop it back in with the rotor pointed straight down the road, and it ought to fire right up, ready for the timing light.
