This is the original ShackTune Competition Condenser, not a cheap copy. The ShackTune Competition Condensers are often copied, but sadly not to the same quality.
To suit all engines running conventional points and condenser ignition, even a Fiat 500 or Fiat 126 Classic!
These condensors should be mounted directly to the coil, to avoid the extreme heat around the distributor.
The ShackTune Competition Condenser is a UK hand made part with a tolerance of +/- 2%.
Because of the tight electrical tolerance’s, your points will last many times longer.
Can be used on any road, race or rally car for peace of mind motoring.
Note:
The coil MUST have a primary resistance of at least 1.8 ohms (1.8 ohms or higher)! When using a coil lower than 1.8 ohm, the coil place a massive stress on the condenser and will cause the condenser to have a very short life.
Fitting instructions:
- Remove the original condensor. Points will remain connected with the original wiring.
- Mount the new condensor close to the coil.
- Connect the female lucar terminal to the negative side of the coil (negative earth vehicles).
- Connect the ring terminal to a good quality earth.
More than 3600 ShackTune Competition Condensers in use around the world.
Proven & used extensively at the LeMans Classic, Goodwood Revival, Silverstone Classic, etc.
Approved for use in historic motorsport, as they only replace a stock ignition component.
