I just had a very disappointing weekend.  I was supposed to pull a parade float in a Christmas parade and I could not get my 66 to start. When I got it home, the points had fire to them but were not firing.  The points themselves were not glazed or burned.  I did put a new condencer on there and it fired up perfectly.  The condenser that was on it had less than 4 hours on it.  Is this a common failure item?
