Points and condenser is the way to go. Simple, cheap, reliable and easy to replace. Spare set and condenser just in case, normally it's the condenser that fails and that is rare. We have all been conned with electronic systems if that fails, that is it, you can do nothing.

Great video I like the way you explain very simple and to the point and you show excellent pictures of the part your working on.

I don't have a car with points and condenser, but I do have 2 older Harley Davidsons that utilize them. I found this video very encouraging. Thanks for posting.

I inherited my late father’s 1970 F250. I’ve never worked with points and condenser. And I’m sure it needs new points. But in dead scared to mess with them.

Nice informative video, just a word of warning, vaseline does melt when it gets warm and tends to get between the contact points and cause a breakdown (personal experience)

@billpayne3983

Excellent. Clear and well produced.

Thank you so much, I am truly getting fed up with ripped by modern electronics in cars, cost me £300+ to change coil pack and spark plugs an my little Jag X type, would love to buy my old Granada Scorpio and again or my old Triumph 2000. thanks for reminding us how simple points are that's all we need 😊😎💖
