The HEI (chevy) do indeed have a capacitor.

The older ones are a metal can, the newer ones are a little rectangular, flat box, but located exactly where the old ones are, next to the module.

I'll try to dig up a thread where I replaced the one in the steaming turd.

Good idea on the ground, 36 sedan.

No disrespect intended, but as I said, other than for radio suppression I don't believe the condenser (capacitor) is needed. However to your case, if a suppression capacitor shorts it will kill the ignition. I stand corrected, thank you.
