Today's question for inquiring minds. I'm using a single points dizzy with an MSD -6A ignition system. In my quest for simplification I wonder if a condenser still needs to be used in the dizzy? It'll run without it but will point life be shorter?

Since you are using the points to trigger the MSD, I don't think one is required. There should not be much current flow there.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

Thanks Frank, that was sorta the conclusion I came to.

Agreed also,the capacitor is there to minimize points burning. If they are not switching any current ,then the points are fine.......Frank.
