Help protect your breaker points from arcing with the Standard Ignition FD-11 distributor condenser, a Model A condenser that is a direct-fit replacement for the 1928-1931 Ford Model A, the 1928-1931 Ford Model AA, and the 1936 Ford Model 68.
Inside the distributor, the condenser works with the breaker points. It absorbs the voltage surge as the points open, which helps limit arcing across the contacts and lets the ignition coil deliver its spark.
- Ignition specialist since 1919: Standard Ignition has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919. As a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, it maintains complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to the finished product.
- Mylar insulation: High-quality Mylar insulating materials are used to withstand electrostatic stresses and help prevent damage to the internal metal foil windings.
- 100% tested: Every unit is tested to confirm that the capacitance value of the finished product meets performance specifications.
- OEM-style connectors: The connectors follow the OEM style for precision installation.
Signs a condenser may need replacing: hard starting, misfiring or cutting out, weak spark, and breaker points that burn or pit quickly. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system before replacing parts.
