can you use a metallized polypropylene film capacitor in place of a  electrolytic capacitor?  The metallized polypropylene film capacitor does not have a + or -.  Would it make a difference how it would be hooked in to the circuit.  I am working on a 37-116. I am new at this and to the Phorum and hope my question is ok.
