Airtex Ignition Distributor Condenser

The Airtex Ignition Distributor Condenser (also called an ignition capacitor) is a replacement part for breaker-point ignition systems. It sits in the distributor circuit and absorbs the voltage surge that occurs when the points open. This reduces arcing across the contact points. It also helps the ignition coil build a strong spark.

Key Features:

• Reduces point arcing and pitting, which helps extend the life of the contact points
• Supports consistent spark delivery for smooth starting and steady engine running
• Made as a replacement for a worn or failed distributor condenser
• Backed by Airtex, a long-established maker of automotive ignition, fuel and engine management parts

A weak or failed condenser can cause hard starting, misfires, a rough idle and burned points. Replacing it with a quality condenser is a simple part of a tune-up on a points-type ignition. Choose the variant listed on this page that matches your application.
