I have a member asking for an available brand/cat number for new condenser and points-1929, 8 cylinder.
Help on this is much appreciated!
Thanks-John
I purchased the Echlin C-778 and C-779 points, listed in the Parts and Services Directory, from Napa and made the slight modifications needed to make them work in my ’29 distributor.
I don’t remember what the part number was for the condenser but I can get that when I get home.
As I recall it was one that was not for industrial use, not automotive use but it has been a few years since I purchased everything.
There have been folks that have said the points listed in the parts and services directory are not the right ones since they have to be modified but I have never seen any other part numbers offered up.
The car runs great with the points listed above so I’m happy with them.
Craig, I very much appreciate the time you spent on this response. If you have a the condenser number that would be great too. I’m sure the fellow asking for this info will be pleased.

The Onan condenser number is 312-0256. This is a high temperature condenser. This reference comes courtesy of Greg Loftness.

In my cars, I use the same capacitor (condenser) as used for say a 1957 Chevrolet. The has a .2 microfarad or medium rating.
Thank you gents!

Bill, thanks for completing the information I was lacking.
I have been very busy with family obligations and did not have a chance to post a follow up.
The Onan condenser is the one I am using.
The points need to have a tab removed to make them work.
It was a very simple process with a dremel tool.
