Re: Noise Filtering Capacitors

The capacitors on the generator and ign switch are for filtering. The one in the distributor is not. That one is part of the point and coil circuit. Radio noise suppression on distributors was done via an inline piece which I think might be a resistor inserted in the high voltage lead coming from the coil.
Not sure if you are looking for new capacitors or just information but if looking, even if you find some old NOS items with the correct part numbers, being the old style wax and paper construction there is every chance they would be in poor shape. Also, depending on who installed the radio -- factory, dealer or aftermarket vendor -- the part number and style of capacitor could be different.
Napa carries an assortment of freshly made radio suppression capacitors, some of which resemble the old items.
