Upon talking to the techs at Link, they recommend a .5 to 3.0 microfarad capacitor on the +/- of the MSD CDI box.
For 16vdc caps, in the range I need, all I can find are little caps that are no bigger than a dime, would I be better off lets say getting a 100vdc cap that is the larger "can" style to have more reserve???? Now if I can just use one of those tiny board mount types, film or tantalum??? |

The voltage is just an upper limit to what it will take w/o blowing up. Where do they suggest adding this cap?
