Condensor value...reading the pits?

paraphrased from article..."If the condenser is TOO SMALL, it won’t have much effect. You will have a VERY hot spark, but will also have lots of arcing across your points, dramatically shortening their life.." On the flip side..."If your condenser is TOO BIG, it will lower the voltage in both the primary and the secondary by too much. You won’t have any arcing across your points (so they will have a long lifetime)…..but you won’t get enough voltage in your secondary to actually arc across your spark plug, either..." so I guess if your pitting the points quickly, maybe you should go to a larger value condensor. 0.22Uf (corrected) seemed to work universally on these 50's outboards and newer with a mag in this article.
