Default Condenser capacitance.

I bought a capacitance checker on Ebay, it seems well made, but the translation of instructions from Chinese to English leaves a lot to be desired. Illustration almost makes sense, but the text looks wrong for the model. Anyway, here is my real question: What is an acceptable number for a 1941 ignition condenser? I measured mine at .24ufd (a NAPA one which I am currently looking for that p/n) and a NOS one for a later model at .16ufd. I am going to measure the one currently on the car as well, as it is the original. It was deemed to be marginal, but works OK for the moment.

Hope the above makes sense, the hour is late...
