However unlikely it may seem, the absent bellypans MUST be excluded as a possible cause.

Condensation inside the distributor should normally be dealt with very well by the insert already spoken about. This assumption is based on the fact that I cannot find a single mention on distributor condensation on a Dutch forum on these old Volvos that has been running for some decades now. NOT ONCE! And as I already mentioned, we don't have a particularly dry climate (same as the UK).

Since distributor condensation in itself seems not that common, how likely is it that BOTH Bruce's cars exhibit the same problem?
That means there must be something in common between the two, and right now, the absent bellypans are the only thing I can think of, especially since the condensation problem on the second car did not developed until after removal of the pan.

It may be a red herring, but that still has to be determined.
