Sierra 18-5347 - Prestolite V6 & V8 Ignition Condenser

Sierra 18-5347 - Prestolite V6 & V8 Conventional Ignition Condenser

Servicing a conventional Prestolite marine distributor does not always require a complete tune-up kit. Sierra 18-5347 supplies the replacement ignition condenser for selected V6 and V8 applications using screw-down or clip-down distributor caps. Match the distributor identification and replacement reference to the installed system, especially if the engine has been converted to electronic ignition.

If you also need the associated tune-up components, the Sierra 18-5276 Prestolite V6 single-point screw-down-cap kit and Sierra 18-5277 Prestolite V8 clip-down-cap kit each list 18-5347 among their contents. Choose a kit only after confirming its specific distributor application; sharing this condenser does not make the kits interchangeable.

Confirm Fitment Before Ordering

Use the parts diagrams available on our website to identify the condenser specified for your distributor. Alternatively, send us your engine model and serial number by email, text or live chat, and we'll confirm fitment before you order; include the distributor identification and details of any ignition conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is 18-5347 intended for conventional or electronic ignition?
A: Its listed application is conventional Prestolite V6/V8 marine distributors. Do not assume it is required or compatible after an electronic-ignition conversion.

Q: Does it cover screw-down and clip-down distributor caps?
A: Both cap styles are listed, but cap attachment alone does not confirm fitment. Verify the Prestolite distributor and required condenser reference.

Q: Are points, a rotor and a cap included?
A: This listing is for the condenser, not a complete tune-up kit. The linked kits include additional components for their separately specified distributor applications.

Q: Can the V6 and V8 tune-up kits be substituted for one another?
A: No interchangeability is established. The 18-5276 kit is listed for V6 single-point screw-down-cap distributors, while 18-5277 is listed for V8 clip-down-cap distributors.

Q: What capacitance or lead dimensions should I match?
A: Those specifications are not supplied in this listing. Match the verified replacement reference and distributor application rather than choosing by appearance or assumed electrical values.
