   Generally the bad condenser will cause the contact points to burn   
   *unless* the condenser itself develops an internal short. Then it will   
   ground the primary current from the coil *permanently* hence no   
   interruption of the coil primary current flow resulting in no high   
   voltage (spark) generation in the secondary circuit.
