When I was a teenager I drove a 1953 Dodge with a small hemi engine. When I drove around a small town the residents would go hog wild because all the time my motor was running nobody could watch TV or listen to the radio. All they'd get was static from my generator. When they complained I just drove around that much longer.

I think the low voltage caps would be OK in your situtation . Condensers is the old word for capacitors - like 80 years ago . 1 mfd is not a huge size today but back then it was , most automotive ignition system caps are around .025 mfd . mike
