Just to add some more mud to the situation, there are two main Vertex magneto condensers - one at .28uF and the heavier duty one (designed for the higher output versions of the mag - usually the external coil versions) that is .036uF. Also, the .28uF is about $15 - $18 while the .36uF one is pushing $40. I see no reason not to try the .28uF version . . . maybe I'll order a few and report back.

The challenge is that I'm sure they will work just fine on my distributor machine - only time will tell on actual usage on cars.
