Crab Condenser relocation

I have seen on some previous posts, where they relocate the ('42 - '48) crab distributor condenser to an area up near the coil, in a more accessible area.

Having the recent occasion(s) to replace my condenser (mounted on the distributor) along the roadside has made me think of that.

Any potential problems I should be aware of doing this?

Thanks.

Will work just fine anywhere you , mount it on point side wire from coil.

However the electronic guys always want it next to the distributor close to the point set its protecting......
 
Here's a picture.

That's a great idea. Now if only we could mount the distributor up near the head where we could access it.....
 
I was trying to find the old picture of a model a with a guy and a couple ladies. It clearly shows a 4 banger model a motor with a half a helmet distributor mounted on it. All I found from google was new hot rod model a's.

No real value to this thread but its a neat picture and shows you can do a lot of different stuff if you have some time and a good imagination.

found it... a life magazine cover. Guess it was two dudes and a lady. Looks like them kids be having fun.
