Keep the breaker points arc-free and the spark strong with the Standard Ignition Ignition Condenser GB-146, a distributor condenser that drops in for a range of classic 1969-1975 Opel, 1969-1972 Mercedes-Benz, 1970-1974 Saab 99 and 1973 Audi Fox applications. In a breaker-point distributor, this condenser acts as a capacitor wired across the points: it absorbs the surge of current the moment the points open, which helps limit arcing and pitting at the contacts and supports the ignition coil in building a strong spark.
Mylar insulation: built with high-quality Mylar insulating material to withstand electrostatic stress and protect the internal metal foil windings.
100% tested: every unit is tested so its capacitance value meets performance specifications.
OEM-style connector: a single blade terminal for precision installation.
Heritage: made by an ignition manufacturer that has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919 with original-equipment ignition experience and full quality control.
Country of origin: Mexico. Manufacturer part number GB-146.
