What is the correct condenser rating?
I recently had several condensers tested for my 1949 stock flathead and they all registered .24 Microfarads. Is this a good reading? If not, what should be the correct reading for a "good" condenser?

Re: Voltage Regulator Replacement
Thanks to all for the good advice. I will wait until flatheadmurre has completed his test and give that a try. I am hoping my NAPA VR will last 3 months.
