Ok,

Here is another good story about the 42l's i have just discovered.  I also 
bought caps to make a .0075uf -at-24000v cap.  Its 20 in series of .15uf 1200v 
caps.  I ran the coil for about 4 minutes just now.  I was getting awesome 2 
footer from my 12/30.  The caps were not perceptably warm.  If they were 
warm, it was too close to call.  I will try my .33uf caps, on the 12/60 coil 
again, but with more in series.  I think i have enough for 23 in series so 
about .0143uf -at-27600vdc.  I really cant comprehend that these tiny .15 caps 
are running fine, but the .33s cant.  I realize that the .33s are seeing 2X 
the rms A, but they are 2X as big.  Is it possible i over-volted them??  I 
did have a 24kv rating, but i guess you never know.  Ill get back to the 
list soon, if i find good news.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Steve Ward.
