The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to keep the points from sticking together. If the points stick together during ignition it could cause the points to burn up. The condenser sends a signal to the points and then takes the signal away to make the points separate.
Breaker points are typically made from materials like tungsten or a tungsten alloy due to their high melting point and excellent conductivity. These materials are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the wear and tear of opening and closing electrical circuits in ignition systems. Some points may also have a contact surface coated with materials like platinum to improve longevity and performance.
It should have electronic ignition.
A 66 Mustang regardless of engine doesn't have an ignition module from the factory. It uses breaker points inside of the distributor housing to directly control the ignition coil.
Dwell angle is simply the amount of time the points or electronic ignition components are in a closed state to charge the primary side of the ignition coil for firing of the spark plug.. This time is expressed in distibutor rotation, hence the degrees..
The points are in parallel with the condenser. Both are connected to ground on one side (screwed to something metal). The other side connects to the coil.
A 1977 Nova should have electronic ignition and therefore wouldn't have points

The firing order for a 1973 corvette 350ci and the optional 454 is 18436572 Firing order remains the same for breaker point ignition as well as HEI electronic Position of #1 plug wire on distributor cap changes slightly when converting to HEI from a standard breaker point ignition system...............sfvrider242
That truck should have electronic ignition, no points.

If your speaking of ignition points, no. The last year that Chevrolet vehicles had ignition points was 1972.
