Description

The capacitor is located in the distributor or on the side of the distributor and is connected on one side to the negative of the coil and on the other side to the contact point in the distributor.

The capacitor ensures that the spark in the contact point is dampened to prevent burning. If the contact point is quickly burned, it means the capacitor is damaged and needs to be replaced. It is also advisable to replace the capacitor if the wiring is damaged.
