Some of the ones I've seen that were saved from the 50s and 60s have dried out and no longer work, however. The insides of these were just foil wrapped around a dielectric film or gel. Time is the worst enemy...the stuff gets brittle and then fails to do the job. You might get a good handheld multimeter and check the capacitance. If it isn't at ~.22uF, then don't use that one. Good luck.

We have used one in a 58 Chevy 283 and a 85 Ford Ranger with a 302 V8; both run well but you will have to check back in a year on longevity. Make that 90 days on the Ranger which is how long the "off shore" ones were lasting. PM Jon.
