<Snip> two condensers in the ignition set up?

The condenser (capacitor) in the distributor is used to reduce the inductive 
voltage kick across the points.  In a pinch, (like if the condenser shorts 
out),you can run the engine without it, but it causes excessive arcing and 
metal transfer on the point contacts and will lead to early points failure.

The capacitor on the positive side of the coil is used to reduce electrical 
noise, for the radio.
