Points and condensers are the mechanical heart of a breaker-point ignition system, found on older vehicles built before electronic ignition took over. The points open and close to trigger the coil's spark, while the condenser prevents arcing across the points as they switch — and worn or pitted components are a classic cause of hard starting, engine misfires, or a rough, inconsistent idle. Browse replacement points and condensers for classic and vintage cars, trucks, and SUVs to keep a points-style ignition firing reliably.
