Default Pertronix w/ a condensor?

Is this good to use together? I thought I remember the instructions for the pertronix system state not to use a condensor, so I took the one I had on there off. Could this lead to problems later as I am using a blaster coil.

Nope you will have no problems becuase that's exactly what I'm using. If you have a ceramic in-line ballast from the wiring leads to the distributer just remove it. The directions are pretty clear about this.

You definately should NOT use a condensor with the Pertronix.
