It was certainly easier than a bakelite block!  

However, I'm not very good with schematics and am uncertain on how to connect the new caps.  There were 3 wires coming from the box.  One I labeled A and it went to a terminal strip connection point that also had one side of a 490K resistor.  The other two I labeled B and they went to an adjacent terminal strip connection point that had one side of the other 490K resistor.  Resistors are 64 and 88 on the schematic.  See photos.

Is the following correct?

1.  Connect one end of the .7 mfd cap to one .1 mfd cap and the other end of the .7 mfd cap to the other .1 mfd cap
2.  Connect same end of one .1 mfd cap to terminal marked A
3.  Connect same end of other .1 mfd cap to terminal marked B
4.  Connect other ends of .1 mfd caps together and to surface of can (chassis ground)

Doing the above means I only have two wires going from the box to under chassis connections.
