Help your breaker points switch cleanly and give the ignition coil what it needs to fire with the Standard Ignition condenser, part number FD-71. This distributor condenser is a direct-fit replacement for the 1942 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup, 1942 Ford 3/4 Ton Pickup and 1942 Ford Sedan Delivery. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
In a breaker-point ignition, the condenser absorbs the voltage surge each time the points open. This helps limit arcing across the contacts and supports a fast collapse of the coil's magnetic field, which produces the spark.
- 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 so that the capacitance value of the finished condenser meets performance specifications.
- OEM-style connectors: Designed for precise installation.
- Quality control: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products. It controls quality through the whole manufacturing process, from componentry to the finished product, and has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919.
Signs that a condenser may need replacing include hard starting, misfiring, cutting out when the engine is warm, and breaker points that burn or pit quickly. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system before replacing parts.
