Patrick,
I've never heard of this capacitor being recommended. Looks like it cleans the dc voltage and eliminates noise. I don't have a radio, so noise isn't an issue. Will this help eliminate mag pick-up failures (I've had two), blown coil (literally), and MSD box failure (bit the dust after 15-yrs)?
