Brand Denso, Lucas

Ignition Condenser for the contact-breaker (points) ignition system, mounted at the distributor.

The condenser is a capacitor wired across the contact-breaker points. As the points open it absorbs the current surge that would otherwise arc across the gap, suppressing burning and pitting of the contacts and sharpening the collapse of the coil primary field to give a stronger spark. Fitted to petrol engines running points-type distributors.

Normally renewed together with the contact points as part of a routine ignition service.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3472 ignition condenser and what does it do?

The RTC3472 ignition condenser is a capacitor wired across the contact-breaker points in a points-type distributor. As the points open it absorbs the current surge that would otherwise arc across the gap, preventing burning and pitting of the contacts and sharpening the coil's spark. It's fitted to petrol engines running points ignition.

Which models and engines does this condenser fit?

This condenser fits points-ignition petrol engines across Land Rover Series 1, 2, 2A and 3, the Defender V8 3.5 with Stromberg or Lucas carburettor, and the Range Rover Classic V8 3.5 to 1985. Some Series 3 applications have exceptions, including the 2.6 with Lucas distributor 41631, so check your distributor against the fitment note.

When should the ignition condenser be replaced?

The condenser is normally renewed together with the contact points during an ignition service. A failed condenser typically causes weak or erratic spark, hard starting, or rapid burning of the points. Because it's inexpensive and the points are already disturbed during a tune-up, it's common to replace both at the same time.
