Yep, just checked out the three on the truck I got from JC a couple of years ago, .5µF
each of them.
For the uninitiated who think an ignition condenser is the same as a noise suppressor
because they both look the same, they’re not. But the ignition caps are .22µF which just
might be enough capacity and I don’t know how you could tell what the dielectric
strength is or what the voltage spikes would look like at the coil plus side, regulator bat.
terminal, the generator armature and at the hot side of the ammeter.
Will a .22µF cap work as a noise suppression component? I don'o, maybe? Perhaps Bill
can elaborate on the technical aspect of it by pointing to or drawing it out schematically,
or explaining what determines the values?
