I'm lucky enough to have 2 shops within about 10-12 miles of me that have most of the parts I need in stock.stratocaster said:Just bought my first Triumph.It's a '67.

As far as the '70's condensors, don't use 'em. The fibre ends are prone to cracking & moisture related issues. Pick up a couple for a late '60's Chevy, I've been running 'em for years. You're on the right track getting away from the '67 points and condensor.
Wes at Four Aces rules. My other go-to guy on Triumph shit is Nick at www.trumpnutcycleparts.com. They both always have in stock what I need most -- answers to my idiotic questions.

Here is my opinion of who to buy from.
Rask Cycle...nice guys and know their stuf,maybe a bit pricey
British Only....order takers,they know nothing.I will never buy from them and it is a shame as they are in my state.
Fab Kevin....mainly builder parts,but Kevin is a great guy.He took more than enough time to explain some things to me.
On Ebay,do yourself a favor and NEVER buy from Limeyspares9eaz or britbikeparts from Chicago.He has 3 Ebay names,and all have alot of negative feedback.Absolute scammer and cost me alot of money.Go read his feedback...you'll get a kick out of it if he hasn't ripped you off yet.
Also on Ebay ttpron....his name is Ron and very helpful.He sells Boyer ignition,great prices and super helpful too.
I have never dealt with Wes at Four Aces,but have read alot of his tech help,and he seems like a very reputable stand-up guy.

Ed, at E&V Engineering in Howard city mich.....after the first time buying from him, I knew I didn't need to look any further. Absolutely trouble free service.

(warning: stupid question alert!)
Are the points the same on 4CA and 6CA ignitions? My bike has condensors mounted on the coils, so mine is a 6CA. I bought new points/condensors the other day, but mistakenly told the guy my condensers were internal. The points look slightly different than what is currently installed. Wondering if he gave me 4CA points, if there is a difference.
So you are saying just to install a two condensors from a 60's small block chevy? Will they mount on my coils like now or will I have to fab a mount? Here's a shot of my current setup.

I agree with eveything said above. Also another vote for Wes.
Raber's in San Jose is great. Call them up on the phone, talk to the guys, they're mechanics, not salesman. They'll set you straight on parts.

There is a big difference in the points. I don't believe you'll be able to make 'em work.ssjones said:Les:

Mount the Chevy condensors in the same location, just make sure the wire isn't pulled tight. Cheap, easy to pick up on the road, and they hold up very well.
hate to revive such an old post but in regard to the above stated .....On Ebay,do yourself a favor and NEVER buy from Limeyspares9eaz or britbikeparts from Chicago.He has 3 Ebay names,and all have alot of negative feedback.Absolute scammer and cost me alot of money.Go read his feedback...you'll get a kick out of it if he hasn't ripped you off yet.

Did a google search for a current username on e bay ( searched here first but never found the specific and found the following list from this link - http://postdiluvian.org/~mason/moto/cityboy.html
and again from this forum
http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15258
"
This guy trades under the following Ebay user names:
bsajohnny
vintagemotorts
cityboyseller
istylestuff
blueskystuff
greatstuff711
limeyspares9eaz
britbikeparts
vintagesparesmidwest
mcenterpr
expresscyclepartsco
vinbikestuff
fcbaaske "
My reason for posting this is because the current UN happens to be -
vintagemotorts which seems to be affiliated with the above mentioned , If you can't tell by now im currently trying to get my money back on an item we'll see..... but for the benifit of others that may search here I wanted to include it as I searched " vintagemotorts"
and never saw anything though I remembered this post at the time it did not seem linked and I was in a hurry to scoop up the part I needed ( round up is less than one month away )
so if your hunting e bay for that part you just can't seem to find .. .. beware.

I almost bought bearing conversion kit from them a few days ago, now I'm glad I missed the end of the auction. I know that's not a ton of dough, but I don't like getting swindled.
