What is that great Napa condenser that's the hot no? I cain't remember if it's a IH-100 or IH-200. I think it's the 100. Thanks Walt
 
I have a 39 deluxe and ran with NAPA IH200 - I have a Bubba built 11A distro. Bubba said the IH200 is ok but will burn up the points faster. He suggested NAPA RR175 which I have since his suggestion installed.

I haven't had or heard of any points being burnt with the IH-200 with cars over 25,000 miles over more than 10 year of service. G.M.

NO REAL PERFORMANCE CHANGE , JUST MORE CURRENT THRU THE CONTACTS, MAYBE A SHORTER POINT LIFE.......IF ITS RUNNING GOOD DONT CHANGE IT....

Don,

I disagree , the IH200 NAPA is often used , however its a little low on capacity for the helmet distributor. The helmet likes .28-.36 mfds to work perfect.

I would use the NAPA RR175 (chevy v8 unit) or a .36 Vertex May unit....

Thanks guys. This is for my 40 with the 276 I've driven the hell out of for 40yr's. It's always run perfect with 4 of mad Max 97's. The other day it started to hitch at a high rpm. Haven't tuned it up for quite awhile. Took compression, 160# every cyl, 3# on the electric pump and good volume, removed the crab, cleaned the points, set .015, no one has a dist machine in my area, .015 has always worked good for me. Didn't have a new cond. so and couldn't remember if IH100 or IH200 so went to BARN, ( What WOULD WE DO WITHOUT IT) Always run a std 12 volt coil with the old poselin GM resister. So I think it's the cond. or the coil. This happens after the engine gets hot. 10am here, going to Napa right now see what they got. Will let you know how I make out. Walt

40 is fixed, installed a IH-200 condenser, It will spin to 5K like nothing, don't want to turn it any faster, street light is coming up. Walt
 
Walt if the brakes don't work make the horn louder.
heh heh hee
Good to hear you got it fixed. I took an old condenser & cut the top off then slid the IH 201 inside & soldered it in a spot to hold it make a ground. Just need to install it & see how it works. Mine is the 34 helmet & & the condenser fits in the coil.
