I would suggest making your caps modular so that you can experiment with
using different values. For instance, using two strings of 12 caps in
series (942C caps) yields about 25nF, so by adding or subtracting
modules in parallel, I can end up with 25nF, 50nF, 75nF, or 100nF
depending on what I am doing at the time. You'll be changing the
primary capacitance anyway if you go from a static gap to a synchronized
rotary, so it would probably be easiest to plan from the get go.
