I received several positive responses from those who installed the
"capacitor fix".  The ground cable I attached from an un-used thread in the
back side of the AFM, installed a bolt that would fit....attached a wire
from there to ground (which I attached to a nut at the back of the
alternator housing.  It may also be possible to move the arm so that it
swings on a different path on the carbon track.  I read here on the list
somewhere that this was possible, but haven't done this myself...so I can't
elaborate on moving the arm too much.
Hope this helps you.
