I have two of these horns also. Are you sure the capacitors are bad? Unless the capacitors are corroded bad, I bet they are ok.
You can check to see if they charge up with an ohmmeter. My horns have the same capacitors in them, they aren't marked with a farad amount. They are about an inch long and and a little over half inch in diameter, and mount into a neat little bracket assembly. Replacing them with something else would be possible, but it would be a lot easier with the right size. There is a set if points in there, if they are corroded it won't work. The adjustment is touchy, too.
