Be really careful using this cap.  I went on a tour of plastic capacitors 
inc.  In my opin.  they really don't build good tc caps.  First, they 
don't use terminals large enough  to handle tesla tank circuit currents.  
And the cap you have isn't oil filled.  PCI makes tc caps which are oil 
filled and corona free.  The cap you have isn't  besides using the AC 
equivelant of that cap you could only run reliably at 8840 volts ac and 
that is with NO NO NO safety margin.  Not a good idea if you plan on 
using this cap more than once.  I can send you the spec. sheet that PCI 
has for their tc caps.  Form your own op.
