gents we have caps referred to here as .310 uf .22uf .016 to .020 uf … quite a spread ! or… were those .310 actually 310Nf ?
it would be important to have cap specs for the specific chrysler engine and remember the conclusions of M.Mohat excellent study (Outboarder) on capacitor tolerances.
Secodly testing at low voltages provided in typical VOM style meters isn’t very conclusive as to the “useability” of the tested caps . Cap testing needs to done at 275VDC and up voltahes to provide a good sense of confidence. His little (basic) test box works very well imho. Has indicated by Mumbles….true cap testers are essential !

soryy I know I am preaching to the wise here but I though those cap ranges were all over the map.
