Condenser - renewal
1 If the condenser is suspected of being faulty, it may be removed and a new one fitted without having to remove the distributor.
2 Release the HT leads from the spark plugs, take off the distributor cap and place the cap and the leads to one side. Remove the rotor arm.
3 Disconnect the LT lead from the coil negative terminal.
4 Mark the position of the distributor body in relation to the clamp plate and then release the clamp plate pinch-bolt.
5 Turn the distributor approximately 120° in a clockwise direction to expose the condenser and extract its securing screw. Pull off its lead connecting block and remove the condenser.
6 Fitting is a reversal of removal.
7 Check the ignition timing on completion.
