    Nice could these be made to work with the model a 4 banger with the aftermarket style cap that has the regular plug wire attachment and modern style points 16721958731579064351735317760342.jpg 16721959185913496721867684812833.jpg

    I'm not really that familiar with "bangers", but since these were designed to mount on the outside of the distributor, I'm sure one could be made to work. You just have to interpose it between the hot feed to the points and ground. Most of the time, there is a threaded hole on the distributor body that can be used to mount the unit. Every once in a while, I have had to drill and tap a hole in the distributor body. You could even mount it using one of the head bolts. It looks like there is a special connector feeding the distributor. I don't know how those work, but perhaps it could be modified to accept the condenser lead.

    It would probably not be a simple straightforward procedure, but I have no doubt it could be made to work.

    I bought mine from @tubman a couple years ago .... So beautiful I have not installed it yet :p

    I simply have been bit from buying condensers from local parts stores .... Napa I got 3 bad ones in a row.
    So when I saw tubman offer a quality American made unit ... I jumped at the chance to buy it.
    They are solid heavy brass casings, to big to fit inside the distributor. They really need to be shown off mounted on the outside. .... Besides they are made to be mounted outside.

    My 30 year old condenser in my Dodge truck is still working fine so not installed tubmans there .... I have a 8BA in the corner & may use it on that one. .... Just a feeling of comfort to know I have it.
