    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.
