The .33 mfd cap was designed more for the type of OEM coils used than it was for the type of distributor. If a person is using a modern can coil then the lower capacity might be better for it. The Sencore LC101 is a very good tester for caps but man are they expensive. Even a used one is up there and a person doesn't even know if it works or not. I have an old Heath Kit C3 that I still use on occasion.
