Can't remember what the later (86/87 on) B200 powered 360 had, if memory serves the dizzy was still block mounted as there wasn't room between the back of the cylinder head and bulkhead for the cam mounted dizzy so again, it would have been Hall-Effect.

Don't worry about the small capacitor, it's there to reduce interference from the coil.
Thank you, this is what a reckoned happened, spare part bought from breakers yard and that they got the description wrong.

I wonder if that suppression capacitor has failed causing a problem. Should I disconnect it to see if that makes any difference, before changing the whole Renix unit?
