The kilogram is just a thousand grams, so if they're tied together, they would still be tied together.
Right. 1F = 1C/1V .. they could have just as easily said 1kF = 1C/1V. Many things use kg instead of g. You can tie together things other than the unscaled base units. Then they are still tied together but 1F is a more reasonable amount.
