    I cut the ends of the condensers off with my Dremel and tiny cut-off saw.
    I used about a 3/8 drill bit to drill the “guts” out of the condenser. Part
    way in with the drill bit, the innards all pulled out in one piece.
    After I cleaned the inside of the condenser a little, I drilled two tiny holes
    in the top of the old condenser, for the cap wires to poke through.
    Make sure the one hole is not touching the outside of the condenser can.
    This wire will be attached to the condenser screw post along with the wire
    from the coil and points. The other cap wire gets grounded. I used the condenser
    “hold down” screw for this.

    These are the “Orange” caps from DigiKey I used….
