Post points and condensers general question about quality
right so all ive ever used is valeo points and condenser's in my car,
my question is
ive been advised that the cheapo ones out there are no good
but i came across these on ebay
without wanting to, abuse the supplier in any such way or if the supplier is a member here,
i simply want to know which is a better set,
this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190476095344&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

or the valeo ones
or any other opinions of anything else

Ducellier supplied the factory so there is a good bet that they are Ducellier( who also supply valeo)

Ducellier has name stamped on condenser and a D in a circle on the fixed part.

its the "intermotor" brand that come with loose contacts, missing plastic heel-and if its there its made of chocolate and you need to adjust the timing every 500 miles, provided the condenser lasts that long.
