Scared the shit outa me too. That's a real quick way to get someone

Carl,
It has been called a condensor ever since the distributor was
invented. Called that by people from all walks of life and education,
DIY parts houses.
And in fact that's probably the correct word! Early electronics books
too called it condenser or condensor, and the word relates directly to
the Spanish "condensador" and the German "Kondensator", among others.
The modern English word "capacitor", although so familiar to us, seems
to be a construction. Just like "inductor" instead of "coil", and
"voltage" instead of "tension" or "potential". Some people even say
"amperage" instead of "current", "wattage" instead of "power", and so
on! Ugh!

The distributor was invented by Charles Kettering at Delco and first used in
the 1910 Cadillac.

Amplifier use is not limited to the USA and 1500W is far from a world
standard.

Actually Kettering invented the ignition circuit which includes coil,
breaker points(and condenser of course) and the distributor. And the
year was 1907
