[QUOTE="jerry, post: 8565, member: 931"] The voltage coming out of the coil tower is your spark current which I think is in the low thousands, the amperage is low but the voltage is high. If you take a plug wire with a spark plug on it and connect it to the coil tower and lay it on a good ground on the engine you should get spark. The condenser provides a storage for the current to the coil when the points open. The coil needs the interuption of current to generate the higher voltage so if the condenser is bad there is no break in the current and you have no spark. The condenser is on the point plate below the rotor in the distributor and pretty inexpensive usually. I hope this helps others may know the whole coil,point thing better than me. [/QUOTE]
