Ignition system condensers vary in capacitance from about .15 mfd to about .35 mfd, depending upon application.
They can be tested for value with a cap checker.
Some parts catalogs list values vs. part numbers/applications, and if you have a service manual for a specific application it MAY give the cap value required.
If the wrong value is used for a given application, moveable or stationary breaker point pitting MAY occur.
"Contact pitting results from an out of balance condition in the system which causes the transfer of tungsten from one point to the other so that a tip builds up on one point and a pit on the other. The direction in which the tungsten is transferred gives an indication for correcting the situation. If the tungsten transfers from the negative to the positive point increase the capacity of the condenser, If the transfer is from the positive to negative point, reduce condenser capacity."

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
