A question was ask several days ago about a poor running engine and the capacitor. It got me to thinking. I believe the distributor capacitor is an electrolytic type. Most electrolytic capacitor I worked with for many years were polarized. I know there are non polarized electrolytics by using two anodes. Does anyone know if the dizzy capacitor is or is not polarized? I have a 1938 6 volt positive ground car and there are caps everywhere which I would not trust much less the distributor capacitor. Thanks
