My electronic ignition has gone to Dyna heaven so I am re-installing the
points. I am glad I managed to get the bike back home on one pot
because this is no easy roadside fix. The bike is a '75 Eldo with a '77
SP motor. I have two sets of points and two coils already installed but
I don't want to put the condensers in the stock location. Instead of
hanging them off the distributor I want to put them up by the coil. I
am assuming it doesn't matter where they are as long as they have a good
ground. Please let me know, right or wrong.

My younger brother made me an mp3 cd to listen to in the garage so I was
wrenching to the '80s alternative sounds of Echo and the Bunnymen, The
Stranglers, The Fleshtones, Psychedelic Furs and the Hoodoo Gurus. Ah,
memories...
