I've not posted my experience with them, but yes, mine ruptured (didn't
find any carbon or evidence of an internal fault) during a short use
time.

Much has been descussed concerning the infamous 37667 maxwells.
I think the general consensus is that these are 1 pulse/sec caps, and
therefore are a bad choice for coiling. Many list members report
blowing them up. I bought 5 of them a few years ago in preparing
for my big coils. I ran a pair in series with an NST powered coil,
and had no problem, most likely because I way underrated them.
Anyway, since another 'new' coiler just purchased a couple, it might
be a good idea for Terry, to post a warning on the list index about
these
caps, so more of us don't unknowingly buy these, only to blow
them up. What do others think?
