A condenser sits inside or alongside the distributor and works with the contact breaker points to keep the ignition circuit from arcing across the points as they open and close. A worn or failing condenser is a common cause of hard starting, weak spark, or points that burn out fast, so it's a part people often replace along with a points service.
We don't have a lot more detail on this one beyond the distributor it's built for. If you're not sure whether your distributor is the 18D2, check the casing markings or give us a call before ordering.
