I've never seen a non-polarized tantalum...look carefully for a teensy '+'
on the side marked with the cap. value, closer to one leg than the other.
Tantalums are more stable & longer lived than other types; electrolytics
will fall apart with the under'hood' environment, & are too big to fit
under the rubber boot (the tantallum @ 22 mfd is about the size of a jelly
belly bean.

I'm not a professional electron chaser, so please flame away (correct) at
will.
