Capacitors are rated in "micro farads" Do not have a symbol for that handy on my keyboard to show you. Lectic Limited makes and sells capacitor reproductions. Zip and Ecklers and others also sell them. Go to their website and hopefully you can see the various reproductions and their ratings. I would expect most to have the same or very similar ratings.
The one used with distributor points is 0.18 to 0.23 microfarads. Not certain about the others used for radio interference.

Microfarad kind of looks like uF, but the units don’t matter except for appearances, as they only really matter for AM radio interference.
The only capacitor that really matters is the one under your distributor cap that is wired to your points, if you haven’t converted to an electronic ignition.
