Ok....one more thing.

Is there an "up" or "down" side for capacitors? I reinstalled as they came off but was wondering if it matters if terminals face up or down. One capacitor had a lid on it and the new one didn't. Lid wasn't interchangeable due to diameter difference in old and new. From what I've read, it's common for size to change as long as volts and such are identical. Also noticed while googling mounting direction varied as well but rather confirm with you all.

Mounting position doesn't matter at all. As long as you match the micro-farad rating and voltage(370 or 440). FYI the 440v capacitors are more durable and cost almost the same as the 370v. I only sell 440v caps to my customers.
The micro-farad rating is the number followed by a funny shaped uf.
