GT380 Service manual states that the condensers on the ignition system have condensers with a capacity of 0.16 µF to 0.20 µF.

That's the Nippon Denso points set.
If you look on here - https://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm - and choose year, model, and parts area, it shows exactly the parts in there & an excellent 'exploded' diagram.
