Sort of<g> the one on the dist. is for the ign coil. It bleeds off stray fields left after the coil collapses, (making the spark).
They are the same function specs different. Think of them as temporary storage devices. They bleed off electrical spikes or back feed we don't want to ground very quickly. This keeps this electrical "noise" from getting into something else.
They are just a big roll of silver foil separated by paper, one end is grounded to the can, the other side to the wire. They do go bad, burn thru, corrosion, etc.
The "can" is grounded, the "wire" lead goes to whatever is making the "noise"
Try disabling the alternator (pull plug) if noise goes away, either the capacitor is bad or the alternator is worn/bad. Don't forget to plug it back in<g>
It is possible the radio is bad? Try putting a ground wire on it's frame.
Did I say I hate Radios in plastic cars<G>
Happy hunting Richie S. in Da Burgh, Pa. USA
