Is there a direct correlation between the number on the scope and material transfer on the points?

I'm not trying to be "smart" here, but from my experience, just about any engine will run just fine with a large range of capacitance values. The variable must be point life. How does the reading on a scope give us an indication of how the material transference will occur and to what extent?

You two gentlemen are among those whose knowledge and opinions I most respect on this board, so please take this for what it is; a sincere quest for relevant information that I can use in further product development.

"Murre" - Simply put, could you put a helmet distributor with a rebuilt "Skip" coil and one of my .22 micro-farad condensers on that very impressive array of equipment you show and be able to tell me that it is X nano-farads short or long? Or just that the pattern "looks good" or doesn't?

Ha.....Like the Judge in "My Cousin Vinny" said...…"I'd like to know the answer to that one, too!" DD
