    Re 54 stalled

    Hi, went through all check procedure's on car's elec. hookup's, all connections good, even tried with car running to find a problem. I noticed the car started missing a bit at idle, I had the top of the shielding off to look at distrb. and wiring. I was moving wire on shielding cap.? at firewall and noticed when I moved lower shielding it would almost die, move more and it died. Seem's the condenser touching the shielding was grounding out with vibration of the motor? Is this correct to say? I turned and tightened the condenser up to keep it off the shielding bottom. Put all back and started right up with no missing, did not drive though. Will a bad condenser grounded right cause a no crank when starting. Thank's Brad.

    No. You were shorting out the points with the condenser WIRE grounded. At that point the condenser was not in the circuit.
