I talked to Skip Haney about using it with his coils. He saud it would be fine.

Automobiles run just fine on a wide range of capacitances. Actually, the characteristics of a coil are more determinative of the condensers capacity. Most cars these days use modern coils, so modern condensers work best (mid .20's micro-farads). Stability and durability are are what's important.

I wouldn't waste time on 50+ year old condensers. The deteriorate over time.
