For a 12V ignition coil, a typical value for a condenser (or capacitor) is around 0.22 to 0.47 microfarads (uF). This range helps to suppress electrical noise and improve the performance of the ignition system. It's important to use a capacitor rated for at least 25V to ensure reliability and safety. Always consult the specific ignition system's requirements for the best results.
Yes there is a condenser on HEI systems with large cap with coil-in-cap. It may seem counterintuitive but yes there is. Follow along. A "condenser" is simply a capacitor. HEI do have a capacitor/condenser within harness and it's adjacent to plug that attaches to ignition control module (beneath rotor). The HEI condenser/capacitor is employed to suppress "radio noise". OE GM HEI have a round condenser while many aftermarket HEI have a squarish-flat condenser. A replacement for OE round HEI condenser is supplied by Standard Motor Products (aka Standard Ignition) as part number RC-3.
each spark plug has its own ignition coil on top of the plug, like many current cars.

A 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee has one ignition coil.

A 4-cylinder engine typically has either one ignition coil per cylinder, resulting in four ignition coils, or a single ignition coil that serves all cylinders in a coil pack configuration. The specific setup can vary based on the engine design and manufacturer. Many modern engines use individual coils for improved efficiency and performance.
The ignition coil is typically located near the engine's cylinder head, often mounted to the engine block or the valve cover. In many vehicles, especially those with a distributor-less ignition system, there can be one coil per cylinder or a coil pack that serves multiple cylinders. To locate it in your specific vehicle, consult the owner's manual or a repair guide.
The 3.0 litre V6 engine in a Lincoln LS has ( 6 ignition coils ) with the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system
The 1994 Ford Ranger with a 2.3-liter engine uses a single coil pack. This engine is equipped with a distributor-less ignition system (DIS), which incorporates one coil pack to fire the spark plugs. If you're troubleshooting ignition issues, it's essential to check the coil pack along with the ignition system components.
8 -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a 1998 or newer Ford Crown Victoria that has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P.) ignition system there are ( 8 ignition coils ) as mentioned above Before that the 4.6 liter in a Ford Crown Victoria had ( 2 coil packs )
The 5.4 liter V8 has always had the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system and has ( 8 ) individual coils
On a 1997 Ford Expedition : The 4.6 has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) It has ( 2 coil packs with four towers each for the spark plug wires ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 5.4 has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system It has ( 8 ) individual coils
