Hi

Can anyone tell me the capacitance value of a condenser used in a car
ignition circuit (across the ignition coil)?

Thanks

Naveed


0.22 microfarads comes to mind....

I'm in England.

I am trying to get my ignition circuit to produce large sparks and thought
that a condenser is basically a capacitor an I have lots of those.

So you think that bigger capacitor will give you a bigger spark? Do they
use bigger nails for bigger houses?

Look up CD ignition systems if you want bigger sparks.
