When I first researched the 4A032 military coil I found a parts catalogue, which showed the capacitor as .25 mfd. I use OMC universal condensers (.22mfd) with no issues. The OMC condenser is just on the edge of the normal range so I don’t see any long term issues especially considering the amount of use the motors get.

Thanks Wayne, I ended up using a .22 axial cap, which is just a hair over of what
a Mercury type Scintilla coil needs. I just “hoped” that the Military and Scintilla type
coil were close in specs…….. sounds like I’m close enough!
I’ll file your information for next time. Thanks!
