    C3 Points/Condensor

    If a condensor has failed, what effect would it have on a 68's ignition system?

    If the condenser fails open the points would burn rapidly. If it shorted the car probably wouldn't run because the primary circuit is shorted.

    If you measure a capacitor with an ohmmeter it should read infinite resistance, but that doesn't mean it's good. Measuring actual capacitance and leak rate requires special equipment, but I doubt if they fail very often - very simple and rugged device.
