Title: Points condenser
Post by: Rain Dutton on 14 Apr, 2020, 09:36
Can any one provide the capacitance of the condensers fitted to B25, Lucas 54420128 and B44, Lucas 5441582 either from records or by measurement please.
Thank you.

Not sure what the standard aluminium can type capacitance is, but if you are using a solid state one the recommended capacitance is
0.22 micro farads. If you want to use a solid state one, then you need one rated at 600v . They are readily available, are a lot smaller and are not polarity specific and cheap.
