Description

Help protect your breaker points and keep spark delivery steady with the Standard Ignition condenser, part number GB-159. This distributor condenser is a direct-fit replacement for the 1974-1977 SAAB 99. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.

In a points-type distributor, the condenser absorbs the voltage surge each time the breaker points open. This helps limit arcing across the contacts and supports the quick collapse of the coil's magnetic field that produces spark.

Ignition heritage: Standard Ignition has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919. As a global maker of original equipment ignition products, it controls quality from individual components through the finished unit.
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 the capacitance value of the finished product meets performance specifications.
OEM-style connectors: Designed for precise installation.

Signs a condenser may need replacing include burned or pitted breaker points, hard starting, misfires, or a weak or missing spark. Other ignition faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing parts. Condensers are commonly replaced along with the breaker points during a tune-up.
