Help with 20v 4age condenser?

[AE111_JAMES]

The small box next to the coil pack, can someone please tell me if this is a condenser, if so is it necessary to run the engine? I have something else similar but not the exact thing.[/img]

The ignitor?

[AE111_JAMES]

nah, that two wire plug there.

not too sure what it is and what it's used for.

It is a condenser, and any ignition/points one will do.

in an electronic ignition system it helps suppress emi that could interfere with the ecu, on an engine with points it reduces arcing across the points gap.
without one on a points system the contacts would be erroded very quickly.

The engine will run without one,
as in if you unplug it the car will still drive normal.
But is generally accepted that they are required for long term use.

thanks for your help guys.
this is what I have, and I just need to re-wire this to my new loom plug?

Yes, that should work. The condenser is mainly there to suppress electrical "noise". You have the earlier version of the same thing
in your hand.
