Technical What condenser to use with A Bosch Blue coil?

I have taken everyone's advice and changed the coil on my 41 Ford to the Bosch Blue #00012. The car is 12V and has a crab style distributor. What condenser should be used with the Bosch coil? Bubba says the crab coil needs .25 MFD so what condenser should I buy?

 

Echlin FA-54 is a great condenser to use on a stock ignition. It also has the standoff tab for mounting to the crab housing.

 

Since I am using a "can" style coil I want to use a later style condenser

 

Your crab housing should have a small drilled/tapped hole on the side, at about 9 o'clock when looking at it from the front. This is where the condenser mounts to.

The FA-54 condenser works well regardless of the coil you're using with the early Ford ignitions.

 

I know where the condenser originally went - what I want to do is mount it close to the coil as in 50's and 60's Ford/Chevy

 

Never seen a points condenser mounted near the coil on 60s GM cars.
I have seen radio noise suppressors mounted on coils of that time period.

 

Good info.

 

simple ask bubba I am sure he has answered the question in his sleep

 

The coil came from a VW so why not use a VW condenser? I have put many VW's on and have never had trouble but then I had a large box of them to start with.
