Experienced a new one!!

After driving my 86 calis 2.5 on some ramps = to change out a warped cylinder head- I had no -spark on the engine!! I previously had experienced some non-start problems when cold & foggy weather -usually late @ night - car wouldnt start did repeated cranking & finally fired up-runs fine & not haveing that problem every day!!?? Changed out a dizzy with new one- checked all wiring connections-all good!! No Spark @ any plugs. Pulled coil off (remote mounted on this car) checked - all specs good also!!-Noticed a small condenser mounted on end of coil- had small crack on end>> also has seperate wiring plug to it - reinstalled coil- didnt plug in wiring to condenser & then found all spark great!! That condenser was going to the radio supression circuit & to tack!! Condenser was bad & was the problem -not the tack!! Just info for those that might have a loss of spark on same cars & system!!
