I have a stock 59AB in my 48, changing the condensor on a hot engine is tough. Was wondering if anyone knows whether there would be a negative effect if I moved the condensor up to the coil.thanks, Happy Holidays

I thought that's where they were mounted on head mounted coil. Use a napa IH-200 . ken ct. Cancel I was thinking of the resistor. I guess you could with additional length to the cond. wire. ken ct.

It should make no difference. you could put it any where between the distributor and the dist. side of the coil with good connections and it should work fine.

Depending upon the value of the condenser that you use, your points could pit faster. A longer wire will change the characteristics of the circuit. My question is why you would have to change the condenser on a hot engine. A quality condenser should last many thousands of miles. Tom

Thanks TomO, my experience has been when I have had to change a condensor it has always been on the side of the road with a hot engine. Happy Holidays

I have had a condenser mounted at the coil for the past 10 years on my 42. I use a Standard # AL-111X which according to the tech dept. at Standard is 0.32 mf. The extra length of the condenser wire will lower the mf. slightly and you are in the Ford spec. The Echlin FA 66 is suppose to be same thing. They are for a 1968 Mopar 318. I have not had a bit of trouble doing this for the 10 years. Sure is easy to change if you need to.
