for all the trouble a generator is I will suggest you just switch to an alternator. I ran gens in my 120 for a couple of years and finally gave up installed an ac delco alt (stay away from the old bosch they're as bad as gens) and I have not messed with the charging system since.
re your problem right now yes both those capacitor looking things are aftermarket "somethings" and not necessary, . Too bad you didn't research the alt conversion here first as IMHO the money spent on a a gen rebuild is often wasted.
Of course if you want an all original car then the gen is the way to go, matches the rust :)
