Yes, this is a great hobby. But really it is Kevins fault.
I"m hooked.
Also I got real tired of looking at all of those caps just sitting there,
knowing that the BIGGG Coil likes around, .183 to .186uf of cap.
These are each rated at 1.86uf.
I figured why not?
10 in series,= .186!!!
That was it, I was off to Walmart and Homedepot.
