Capacitor wiring for coil on plugs...
 
Hey guys I was wondering what the best way to wire the capacitors for my coil on plug set up, I bought two 10,000 uf 25v caps and from what I understand you install one in the 12+ going to the coils and one in the ground going to the coils. My question is should I wire them in parallel or should I cut the 12+ and G and solder them in so all the current travels through them?
Thanks for any help, and yes I did search.

Imagine standing on railroad tracks.

pretend the rails are 12v and GND, and you are the 10,000uF cap.

/thread?

/thread?

so make it look like this?
12v _________[cap positive terminal]_____[coil 12v]
G __________[CAP neg terminal]________[coil ground]

sorry if these are dumb questions but I am not great with electronics.
thanks for the help!

From what I have read, the capacitors are still a debated necessity. I didn't use them. Yet.

All miatas have a small one on the ignition wiring anyways. I deem them unneeded.

Is a Cap needed for all COP installs?
