I'm not an electrical expert, but I agree. As long as the capacitance is within the same specifications, any condenser should work. The problem is in determining the capacitance specifications. Better yet, throw the points and condenser away and get an electronic trigger (Compufire, Petronix, et. al.).
How do you know your condenser is malfunctioning. Unless your points are burning badly in a short period or you have a hot start problem, the condenser is fine. I know: everyone changes them when they change points. I do not; I rarely change condensers. My points last as long as those that have the condenser changed. Thomas E.

You might see if there's a VW part that fits. _______________________________________ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] For new parts see www.buymbparts.com For repairs see www.oldworldauto.com To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
