Standard Ignition GB-140 Ignition Condenser

Ignition Condenser for Secondary Ignition

The Standard Ignition GB-140 ignition condenser is built for secondary ignition service where stable capacitance and reliable electrical isolation matter. It uses Mylar insulating materials to help resist electrostatic stress, and each unit is 100% tested to confirm capacitance meets performance specifications.

With OEM-style blade and bullet connectors, the GB-140 supports precise installation in ignition systems that call for this terminal style. Standard Ignition has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919, and this part number is a direct-fit service component for ignition maintenance on select applications.

Key Features

• Ignition condenser for secondary ignition systems
• Standard Ignition GB-140 part number
• Mylar insulation helps protect internal foil windings from electrostatic stress
• 100% tested for capacitance value before release
• OEM-style connectors for accurate installation
• 2 terminals with blade and bullet terminal type

Product Details

The GB-140 is an ignition condenser used in distributor-based ignition service where condenser performance affects spark control and point system operation. Its construction focuses on electrical stability, with insulating materials selected to reduce internal damage from voltage stress. The blade and bullet terminal design supports a factory-style connection, which is important when servicing ignition systems on vehicles such as Chevrolet and Ford applications that rely on this style of secondary ignition component. If you are replacing a worn condenser, the GB-140 provides a service-ready option under the Standard Ignition GB-140 designation.

This part cross-references 5H1070 and 6-244 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Intermittent ignition performance caused by a failing condenser
• Point system instability in distributor ignition setups
• Electrical leakage or breakdown inside the condenser
• Poor connection fit from worn or incorrect terminal style
• Capacitance drift that affects ignition operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the terminal style, connector layout, and ignition system design before installation. Match the blade and bullet terminals to the original configuration, and inspect related ignition components such as points, cap, rotor, and wiring for wear before completing the repair. For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly sought for ignition condenser replacement on Chevrolet and Ford vehicles with secondary ignition service needs.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition tests each GB-140 unit to confirm capacitance meets performance specifications. The use of Mylar insulating materials and OEM-style connectors supports consistent electrical performance and factory-style installation.
