Butch,

Try the Mallory 400. It is a bit larger than the condensor Mac used under the flywheel, but it will fit.
It is the same size as the one used on the MC-10.
$5.95 from Summit Racing

thanks terry, my racing days were based out of akron ohio and i thought summit racing started there ???? used to have a connection back then that would test the condensors and coils

Butch,
You are right. According to the history area on their web site, they started in Stow, Ohio - right outside of Akron. They have a big store south of Atlanta. I pass it every time I go to Barnesville. I always think about stopping there, but I am in a hurry to get to the track or get home.

Butch & Terry,

We stopped at Summit Racing on our way back from Barnesville Saturday (35 miles from track) while you guys were typing this and picked up (2) Mallory 400 condensors for $5.95 each! These are also available at our O'Reilly's Auto Parts for $11.99 each.

Summit's a really neat stop if you're near Barnesville......I recommend it!

See you in March 2012!

Terry

Butch and I grew up about 3 miles from where Summit Racing is.
Now it takes me about 20 minutes to get to it.
In fact, a couple ex-karters we know work there.
I use to buy parts from Summit Racing when I did a little drag racing in the mid to late 60's.
They started in the basement of a flower shop in Stow, Ohio..
Paul has come a long way since Stow..
Great place...
