The Ford Barn - View Single Post

Have posted this on "another site" and got some good advice but not what I wanted to hear. Since I'm a stuborn s.o.b. I thought I'd give the Barn a shot. I'm changing the capacitors on a couple of spare coils and was wondering how the backyard boys set them up. I know there's testers out there and that's probably the correct way to go but I don't have access to any without the packaging/shipping routine which I'm trying to avoid. Usually I set them to a 1/4" to 3/8" spark and let it go at that. Any ideas?
